Stabilized Bridge Loans
Stabilized Bridge Loans Real Estate Investors In Need Of Flexibility
When markets change, sometimes your investment strategy changes with it. That’s why Asset Based Lending now offers bridge loans for stabilized properties that allow borrowers to reposition their investment and wait for market conditions to match their desired exit. These bridge loans are designed for investors who have recently completed a renovation or ground up construction but believe market conditions don’t favor their current exit strategy, so they decide to hold the property as a rental. Or maybe you’re an investor that’s looking at a turnkey rental property that you may eventually sell or refinance when mortgage rates come down in the future. Either way, you need an interest only loan without pre-payment penalties to bridge the gap.
Our 2-year debt service coverage loans can help bridge your financing for up to 24 months with no prepayment penalty, so you can exit the loan whenever you’re ready. With extensions available for an additional fee, we’ll make sure you’re properly financed from start to finish so that you have time to determine your final exit strategy and capitalize on your investment at the right time. We can provide stabilized financing for properties up to 20 units, using the lesser of either market rent or leased rent to determine the DSCR and deliver you competitive loan terms.
ABL is ready to help you bridge the gap between your hard money loan and permanent financing, or until you decide to sell your investment property. With competitive loan terms and flexible time frames, you’re in full control of your investment’s success.

How do these stabilized loans work?
These are hard money bridge loans, acting as 2-year temporary financing until you sell your property or refinance into long term financing. Maybe you just completed a rehab or new construction and were planning on selling, but sale prices have dropped lower than you’d like and you want to take advantage of the current rental market without committing to a long-term hold with substantial pre-payment penalties. These stabilized bridge loans are perfect for holding the property as a rental while waiting out volatile market conditions, allowing you to either exit the loan and sell the property with no prepayment penalties or refinance into a long-term hold if you determine that the asset is cash-flowing to your liking.
What are the requirements for stabilized bridge loans?
We take a doc-light approach to financing, not looking at income verification or tax returns. We look at FICO score, looking for a minimum of 680, and we look at previous experience. The more experienced an investor, or the more round trip deals with us, the better terms we can offer. The property also needs to meet our minimum DSCR requirement of 1.05-1.2 (depending on experience), which is determined using the lesser of market rent or leased rent. These loans are available for first time real estate investors, and can help new investors buy time to navigate the shifting real estate markets.
How long can I receive stabilized financing?
Our typical loan terms are for 2 years, with the option to extend the financing for an additional fee. We don’t charge any prepayment penalty, so you’re able to exit the loan whenever you feel ready without any exit fees.
What are the typical terms of a stabilized bridge loan?
While all loans are different and structured to meet the individual investor’s needs, the typical stabilized loan is a 2-year interest-only loan with rates starting at 10.5% and LTV up to 65%-70%. Loan terms are determined based on factors such as borrower experience, FICO score, and DSCR, using the lesser of either market rent or leased rent to determine your DSCR.
Are these hard money loans?
These are hard money bridge loans for investment property, and ABL is a hard money lender. We operate as a balance sheet lender, which means we hold the majority of our loans on our books, allowing us full control over our decision making and giving us the flexibility to provide the best possible loan terms for our borrowers.
