BridgeWell Capital: A Partner to Commercial Real Estate Investors in Florida

Most Hard Money Lenders in Panama City Florida and throughout the country exclusively fund residential projects. The few lenders that will consider commercial projects operate within strict guidelines. These lenders are part of a narrow segment of the commercial lending industry in Florida called Prime Commercial. They assist borrowers with high credit scores and cash-flowing assets. Additionally, many Prime Commercial Lenders will require at least 50% owner-occupancy, will not lend on distressed assets, and will not consider a loan amount below two million. As a result, Florida real estate investors are frustrated, and great deals are lost.

Let’s explore some of the investment opportunities that would be rejected by a Prime Commercial or Institutional Lender and the ways BridgeWell Capital can assist greater Florida real estate investors.

  1. A quick closing is required. BridgeWell can close in a minimum of 10 days. As a direct lender with in-house capital, the liquidity to fund your deal is waiting at the ready.
  2. The property is value-add, partially vacant or fully vacant and requires rehab. BridgeWell funds partially vacant or fully vacant commercial properties and does not require owner occupancy. For distressed or shell-condition properties, a portion of the loan can be allocated to a Rehab Credit Line.
  3. The Florida real estate investor is unable to qualify for traditional financing. BridgeWell considers the whole picture when evaluating a loan request. Low credit, lack of W-2 income, or inexperience do not immediately disqualify the loan.
  4. The loan amount requested is below two million. BridgeWell funds small balance commercial loans from $150,000 to 2 million.
  5. Fast cash is needed on an owned asset. BridgeWell can refinance existing liens or provide cash back on unencumbered properties.
