Short term financing is usually taken out to meet your obligations within a week to a year. In real estate or property terms, such short terms loans are usually called Bridge Loans. It is usually taken out to “bridge” the gap between short-term cash requirements and a long-term loan. These are usually up to a period of 12 months and because they are shorter and riskier, they have a much higher interest rate and are normally backed by asset collaterals like equity, etc. If you have a non-owner occupied property, getting approved for a short term bridge loan should not be difficult provided there is enough equity in the deal. So these short term non owner bridge loans are an excellent idea to look for when you are short of cash and not covered by a longer-term loan yet. Not every
private money lender or hard money lender specializes in short term non owner bridge loans so be sure to do your research.
