Question 1

How long does a bridge loan last in Yountville?

Accepted Answer

Most bridge loans run 6 to 12 months. That's your window to sell the departing property and pay off the bridge.

Question 2

Can I get a bridge loan on a vineyard property?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but lender options narrow significantly. You need a lender experienced with ag-zoned and mixed-use Napa properties.

Question 3

What credit score do I need for a bridge loan?

Accepted Answer

There's no hard minimum like conventional loans. Equity and exit strategy matter more than credit score here.

Question 4

Do bridge loans require an appraisal?

Accepted Answer

Most lenders require one. In Napa, luxury and vineyard comps can be thin — factor in extra appraisal time.

Question 5

What's my exit strategy if my home doesn't sell in time?

Accepted Answer

You can refinance into a longer-term product or extend the bridge if the lender allows. Plan this before you close.

Question 6

How fast can a bridge loan close in Yountville?

Accepted Answer

Private bridge lenders can close in 10 to 14 days in many cases. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
