1031 Exchange Bridge Loans for Commercial Real Estate
1031 exchange bridge loans allow investors to close on replacement property within the IRS 45-day identification and 180-day closing deadlines without waiting for conventional financing. These short-term facilities close in 10 to 21 days, satisfying exchange timing requirements while a permanent loan is arranged post-close. Minimum deal size is $2 million, aligned with the equity profiles of investors doing tax-deferred exchanges in commercial real estate.

Bridge Financing to Meet 1031 Exchange Deadlines
A failed 1031 exchange triggers full capital gains tax recognition on the relinquished property sale, often representing hundreds of thousands of dollars in immediate tax liability. The primary risk is not finding the right replacement property — it is failing to close on one in time. Conventional bank financing is simply not fast enough for most exchange timelines, particularly when the identified property requires due diligence, PCNA reports, or appraisals that banks require before commitment. A 1031 bridge loan from a debt fund or private lender eliminates the timing risk: the investor closes the exchange, locks in the tax deferral, and then refinances into permanent debt at leisure. Experienced 1031 exchange advisors and qualified intermediaries routinely recommend bridge lenders to their clients for exactly this reason.
