Bridge loans from Actium Partners are competitive loans that can be used for a variety of purposes. Our bridge loans are short term loans offering benefits that include speed and flexibility. Whether you have been thinking about a bridge loan for real estate or some other purpose, please consider Actium Partners for your needs in Utah, Colorado, and Idaho.

While you think about that, there are some things you can do to enhance the bridge loan experience. We discuss four of them below. Understand that the more you know about bridge financing before you get into it, the smoother the experience you are likely to have. Knowledge is power in private lending. We want you to be as knowledgeable about bridge loans as possible.

1. Do Your Due Diligence

We do our due diligence on every loan application presented to us. We encourage you to do the same. Thoroughly investigate the deal you are trying to work out. Make sure you understand both the short- and long-term implications of your investment. Make sure you understand how bridge loans work.

We also encourage you to thoroughly research any lenders you have been entertaining doing business with. Lenders are different. So are bridge loans. Your goal is to find the best possible loan offered by a lender you are comfortable doing business with. We believe Actium Partners is a particularly good choice. However, you need to know that for yourself.

2. Plan Every Step of Your Project

There is an old adage that says failing to plan equals planning to fail. There is plenty of truth to it. When it comes to utilizing bridge loans for funding real estate transactions or other types of projects, planning is essential. Plan every step of your project from start to finish.

Create a plan that includes details about timelines, budget, exit strategy, etc. Having contingency plans – just in case things go wrong – is a good idea, too.

3. Establish Clear Lines of Communication

Once you are ready to apply for a bridge loan, make sure to establish clear lines of communication with anyone who might be involved. This includes both the lender and seller (if you are purchasing real estate). Poor communication is one of the biggest issues that slows down bridge financing.

It is wise to have several means through which you communicate. Telephone and email might be at the top of your list. SMS (texting) and video chat are two more options. The more options available to you and your partners, the greater the opportunities you have to communicate freely.

4. Practice Risk Mitigation Incessantly

Finally, it is important for everyone involved to mitigate their risks as much as possible. We like to say that borrowers should be incessant about risk mitigation. When you minimize your risks, it is easier for us to minimize ours. Likewise for others involved in the deal.

If everyone involved keeps their risks at a manageable level, the transaction is much smoother. But if one party is burdened with too much risk, the deal might fall through. Shared risk means shared potential for good returns. That is the thing to shoot for.
