About Crebrid

Is a Bridge Loan Right for You?

Bridge loans are ideal when timing and flexibility matter most. They can help you close on your next investment while waiting for another property to sell or permanent financing to come through.

Ideal Scenarios for a Bridge Loan:

  • Buying a Property Before Selling Another: Secure your next deal without waiting for your current asset to close.
  • Funding a Fix-and-Flip Project: Acquire, renovate, and resell a property on a short timeline.
  • Stabilizing an Asset Before Refinancing: Make improvements that increase rental income and property value before securing long-term financing.
  • Covering Short-Term Capital Gaps: Access the funds needed to execute quickly without tying up long-term resources.

Speed, Leverage, and Smart Capital Solutions.

Real estate investors choose Crebrid over other bridge loan lenders because we understand the market, respect your timeline, and deliver capital without unnecessary roadblocks. Our process combines competitive rates, fast funding, and investor-focused service, so you can focus on what matters: closing deals and growing your portfolio.

Thanks to Crebrid, my partner and I were able to complete our renovations quickly and get our investment property on the market in no time at all.

Nick Poulos

I’ve worked with Kevin Shipman and Crebrid for 7 years across referrals, client deals, and our own investments. Kevin is always reliable and delivers exceptional service. Most recently, he and Ford Story went above and beyond to fund a last-minute deal when a client backed out. They made it happen on time, and we’re grateful to keep working with them.

Sarah Banks

I couldn’t have asked for a more professional team than the one at Crebrid. We had a deadline to meet that was just 4 days away from when I first contacted them and it was an out-of-state property and Ford Story and the team came through with flying colors. I would highly recommend Crebrid!!! Thanks again for helping us out.
