On top of that, you could face financial strain when you can\u2019t sync timelines: managing two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/buyer-what-is-a-mortgage\/\">mortgage<\/a> payments, paying for a temporary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/buyer-how-to-find-houses-for-rent\/\">rental<\/a>, and managing multiple moving costs.<\/p>\n<p>As a short-term financing solution, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/buyer-bridge-loan\/\">bridge loans<\/a> empower you to leap ahead to purchase your new Oklahoma home before saying goodbye to your old one, helping you keep all the pieces in place without the interim shuffle.<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"geo-cta widget-cta widget-cta--content     widget-cta--dark widget-cta--dark-blue-gradient\">\n    <div class=\"widget-element--content\">\n        <div class=\"widget-element--content-header\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"homelight logo\" class=\"widget-element--logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/ccprototypev5\/images\/logo-small-cta.png\" width=\"106\" height=\"25\" \/>\n        <\/div>\n        \n                <h3 class=\"cta-headline widget--bold\">Yes, You Can Buy Before You Sell.

It offers temporary financing so you can move ahead with your Oklahoma home purchase without waiting for your current one to close. After your old home sells, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/how-much-will-i-make-selling-my-house\/\">proceeds<\/a> pay off the loan, helping reduce timing and cash-flow pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, bridge loans last from six months to a year.
