Big banks rarely do bridge loans. This is wholesale and private lender territory — which is exactly where SRK CAPITAL operates.
We work with 200+ wholesale lenders. That means we can match your equity position and timeline to the right program, not a one-size-fits-all product.
The deals that fall apart aren't usually the loan — they're the timeline. Know your payoff date before you close.
Auburn sellers are real people with real move-out needs. A clean, contingency-free offer backed by a bridge loan wins more often than a higher financed offer with strings attached.
Home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) are cheaper, but most lenders freeze them when your home lists for sale. That kills your timing.
Hard money loans close faster but cost more. Bridge loans sit in the middle — faster than conventional, less expensive than hard money. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Auburn draws buyers from the Sacramento metro who want land, space, and foothills living. Demand is real and inventory stays tight.
Properties here often appraise differently than urban comps. Work with a lender who understands Placer County valuations — equity calculations depend on it.
Most bridge loans run 6 to 12 months. That gives you time to list, sell, and pay off the loan without rushing.
No — that's the point. You qualify based on equity in your current home and your plan to sell it.
Rates run higher than conventional loans. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions — your equity position is the biggest cost driver.
Yes, but lender options narrow for non-standard properties. We shop across 200+ lenders to find programs that fit Placer County's rural parcels.
Most bridge lenders offer extension options. Build that conversation in before you close — not after the deadline hits.
Yes. Bridge loans don't follow standard QM guidelines. That means more flexibility, but you'll want an experienced broker in your corner.
