Crescent Lenders is a direct bridge loan lender based in California (not a broker). With over a decade of industry experience, we have established ourselves as a trusted bridge loan provider.
Whether you're searching for commercial bridge loan lenders or residential bridge loan lenders, our company specializes in providing customized hard money loans to cater to real estate investors throughout the Golden State.
Having funded over $100 million in bridge loans in California since 2010, we take pride in delivering exceptional customer service and maintaining open lines of communication to ensure a smooth lending process.
When underwriting a bridge loan, we are mostly concerned with the loan-to-value of the property being used as collateral rather than the borrower’s credit score, employment history, or income.
A hard money loan has no standard underwriting process; each loan is judged on its own merits. Our goal is to determine if you;
If these three simple requirements are met, there is a strong chance we can fund your bridge loan in California.
Crescent Lenders provides a diverse range of bridge loans in California that cater to real estate investors, property developers, estate beneficiaries and business owners. Our lending policy mandates all loans to be secured by a hard real estate asset, ensuring a secure investment for both the borrower and the lender.
Our California bridge loans are designed to provide quick access to funds, often within 5 to 7 days. This can be beneficial when a time-sensitive need for financing arises, such as purchasing a new property before selling an existing one.
Our loans can support business operations and expansion initiatives. They can provide working capital to cover operational expenses, bridge gaps in cash flow, fund inventory purchases, or facilitate business expansion plans.
Our loans offer flexibility in terms of their repayment terms and requirements. We can customize them to meet your specific needs and the situation, allowing for more tailored financing options.
We can enable buyers to secure financing for a new property while they wait for their current property to sell. This helps avoid timing gaps and ensures a smoother transition in real estate transactions.
Our California bridge loans can help buyers avoid contingency clauses common in real estate contracts. A contingency clause states that a purchase depends on selling the buyer's property. Buyers can make more competitive offers without such contingencies by obtaining a bridge loan.
Our loans can be utilized to take advantage of investment opportunities that require immediate funding. For example, if an investor wants to secure a property at a discounted price but needs funds quickly, we can provide the "gap loan" financing until long-term financing or other arrangements are in place.

A bridge loan is a short-term financing option that provides immediate funds to bridge a temporary gap in funding or to facilitate a specific purpose, such as purchasing a new property before selling an existing one.
Bridge loans are commonly used in real estate transactions to secure financing for a new property while waiting to sell an existing property. They can also be utilized for investment opportunities, business operations, and other time-sensitive financing needs.
Bridge loans provide immediate funds based on the value of the collateral property. They are typically repaid within a short period, often ranging from a few months to a year. The loan may require regular interest payments or have deferred interest that accrues until it is repaid in full.
