Bridge Loans

A bridge loan is often used in real estate transactions to provide cash flow during a transitional period, such as when moving from one home into another home. Homeowners can use this type of loan to finance a new home or pay off debt.  This is an extremely beneficial option for those who do not want to be a contingent buyer.

​

Bridge loans roll the mortgages of two houses together, giving the buyer flexibility as they wait for their former house to sell. However, in most cases, lenders only offer real estate bridge loans worth 80% of the combined value of the two properties, meaning that the borrower must have significant home equity in the original property or ample cash savings on hand.

​

There are also fix-and-flip bridge loans for investors who need the cash flow while they complete their project.

Bridge Loans

  • Source of funding until you get permanent financing or pay off debt

  • Typically short-term loans, lasting an average of 6 months to 1 year

  • They can be used to finance the purchase of a new home before selling your existing house

  • Takes out a loan against your current home in order to make the down payment on your new home

  • This form of financing may also be helpful to businesses that need to cover operating expenses while awaiting long-term funding

  • Some borrowers use the bridge loan as a second mortgage to put toward the down payment on their new home until they can sell their current home.

  • Other borrowers take out one large loan to pay off the mortgage on their old home. Then, they put the remaining money borrowed toward the down payment on their new home.

Guidelines

  • No monthly payments

  • Interest only balloon payment due at time of loan payoff

  • Bridge loan does NOT reflect against monthly liabilities towards qualifying new home purchase (HOA only reflects against debt.)
