Hard money commercial bridge lenders can such as Avatar Financial Group can fund a real estate refinancing loan is as little as two weeks from the time you sign a Term Sheet and make a down payment toward the costs of due diligence.

Be prepared to demonstrate your ability to make monthly interest-only payments and show a clear exit strategy.

If you are experiencing financial difficulties, but expect to be able to set your affairs in order within 36 months, your exit strategy might be to turn to a conventional lender at the end of the loan term.
