Bridge Loan Calculator FAQs
What is a bridge loan used for?
Bridge financing is short-term financing meant to cover a gap until a longer-term solution, a sale or a refinance is in place. Availability and terms vary by funding source and by the property or transaction.
Why does the calculator not show the payoff?
In an interest-only structure the principal is due at the end of the term. The tool shows the carrying cost; you will also need an exit plan such as a sale or a refinance. The commercial mortgage refinance calculator can model the takeout.
Does CMCC provide bridge loans?
No. CMCC is an advisory and brokerage firm and presents requests to independent funding providers; see commercial real estate financing.
