Private loans secured by real estate

Capital for opportunities that won’t wait for a bank.

No commitment. Preliminary answer within 24 business hours.

What we fund

Four hard money bridge loans with the same clear rules, all secured by a property in Costa Rica.

  • Fix and Flip

    Buy, renovate, sell.

    Bridge capital to acquire and renovate a property, repaid when it sells.

    • Up to 50% of value
    • 2-year term

    • 2-year term
    • Funding in 7 to 15 business days
  • Cash-out refinance

    Turn your equity into capital.

    Refinance a property you already own and put the capital into your next opportunity.

Problem = opportunity

What waiting costs

Between what you need today and the money that will come tomorrow, there is a gap. We put up the capital to bridge it.

  • Cutting the price just to get cash.

  • Stopping the build while costs keep running.

  • Losing the purchase because the seller won’t wait for the bank.

  • Commitments that fall due before the sale closes.

A bridge loan covers that wait, backed by your property and with a clear way out: the sale, a refinance or the project’s cash flow.

Why we move faster than a bank

  1. We focus on the collateral

    The property secures the loan. That is where our analysis starts.

  2. 50% of value, maximum

    We lend conservatively. That margin is what lets us decide quickly.

  3. Your repayment plan

    We want to understand how the loan gets repaid: sale, refinance or project cash flow.

Frequently asked questions

What is a bridge loan?

A short-term loan, secured by a property, that gives you liquidity until another source of money arrives: the sale of a property, a bank refinance or your project’s cash flow. At Link the term is 2 years.

How much can I get?

Up to 50% of the property’s appraised value, between $50,000 and $1,000,000 per loan. Illustrative example: with a property worth $400,000, the loan can be up to $200,000. If you need more, send us the case and we will review it together.

How fast do I get the money?

You get a preliminary answer within 24 business hours. Funding usually happens 7 to 15 business days after your request, once the appraisal and title review are done.

What properties do you accept as collateral?

Any type of property, anywhere in Costa Rica, as long as the loan is secured by a first-position mortgage.

What does it cost? Is it more expensive than a bank?

Yes, a bridge loan costs more than a bank loan. The rate is 12% to 15% a year, and the borrower pays the origination fee and the appraisal, legal and registration costs. In exchange, the money arrives in days, not months.

Is a preliminary evaluation an approval?

No. The preliminary answer tells you whether your request fits based on what you told us. Approval depends on the appraisal, the title review and signing the documents.
