About Bridge Loans in Florida

They close fast and offer flexibility that traditional loans can't match. In Florida, 43 lenders currently offer Bridge financing with loan amounts from $250K to $50M and rates typically ranging from 8% - 12%.
Florida Market Overview
Florida's lack of state income tax, rapid population growth, and international gateway status make it one of the most dynamic CRE markets in the country. South Florida has become a major destination for financial firms and tech companies relocating from the Northeast.
Florida's judicial foreclosure process averages 12 to 18 months and requires court approval, which CRE lenders must account for in their risk modeling. The state's Save Our Homes cap limits homestead property assessment increases to 3% annually but does not apply to commercial properties, which are reassessed at full market value each year. Florida's exposure to hurricanes necessitates substantial wind and flood insurance costs that can significantly impact net operating income, particularly for coastal commercial properties.
