Key Considerations for Raleigh Investors

Time-sensitive acquisitions

Bridge loans excel in Raleigh's competitive market — off-market deals, auctions, 1031 deadlines. Most close in 5-10 days; some in 72 hours.

Bridge-to-term strategy

Many Raleigh investors use bridge loans to acquire, then refinance to 30-year DSCR once stabilized.

No appraisal and no DSCR

Bridge lenders typically skip appraisal and don't require DSCR. Speeds closings but limits LTV to 70-80%.

Cost of speed

Bridge rates in Raleigh are higher than long-term DSCR. Factor in 2-3 points origination. Only makes sense when speed or flexibility justifies.
