Bridge loan questions

What does Smply Capital charge?

A broker fee, earned only when your loan closes — depending on the deal it’s paid by you, the lender, or both, and it’s disclosed in a written broker agreement before your file goes to any lender. Nothing upfront, ever: scenario review, consultation, and evaluation are free, and if your deal doesn’t close, you don’t pay us.

Do I need perfect credit to get started?

No. Bridge lenders underwrite the asset and the exit first: the property’s value, your equity in it, and how the loan gets repaid. Credit is one factor among several — tell us your full picture upfront and we take the deal to the lenders who underwrite that way.

What if my exit gets delayed?

Most bridge loans carry built-in extension options — commonly 3–6 months for a modest fee. If the sale slips or the refi takes longer, you extend rather than default. We flag the extension terms in every option you see, before you pick one.

Bridge vs hard money — which am I?

Both are short-term and asset-based. Bridge suits stronger files: institutional-leaning lenders, lower rates, a little more underwriting. Hard money is faster and more forgiving on credit and documentation, at a higher price. If you qualify for both, bridge is usually cheaper — and we’ll tell you which side your deal lands on.

Who actually sees my deal?

Only the lenders we know close this loan type — and only them. Your file goes to them directly. No mass distribution, no marketplace listing, no one sees your deal who doesn’t need to.
