The Speed Gap: Why Metro Atlanta Investors are Switching to 10-Day Closings

Comparison of 41 day bank closing versus 10 day bridge loan closing in Atlanta real estate market.

The Source of Speed: The Southern Legacy Fund

The reason banks are slow isn’t just regulation; it is capital constraints. They have to ask permission from a committee.

“Our focus is solely on the Commercial Lane, leveraging our internal balance sheet,” explains Heather Sharpe, Closing Specialist. “The Southern Legacy Fund represents our Georgia-dedicated capital portfolio. When it comes to Bridge Loans, we make independent decisions and transfer funds directly – no intermediaries, no delays.”

The Regulatory Firewall

Because our loans are strictly for Business Purpose (Non-Owner Occupied), we are exempt from TRID regulations.

This provides a significant speed advantage:

  • No 3-Day mandatory waiting periods for Closing Disclosures (CD).
  • No Right of Rescission delays.
  • No TILA-specific disclosure lag.

The Strategy: Be the Cash Buyer

Smart agents use our 10-Day Bridge Loan to mimic a cash offer. Here is the winning formula:

     Write: A contract with a 10-Day Closing and 0 Financing Contingencies.

     Win: Secure the asset with Southern Legacy Fund capital.

     Refinance: Transition into a 30-year DSCR loan post-closing.
