What is a bridge loan?<\/h2>\n

A bridge loan<\/a> is essentially a short-term financial boost, designed to help you, the homeowner, navigate the period between buying a new home and selling your existing one. It serves as a financial \u201cbridge\u201d that carries you smoothly over the gap between these two significant transactions.<\/p>\n

This type of loan uses the equity of your current home<\/a>, providing the necessary funds for your new home purchase. It usually has a higher interest rate compared to traditional mortgages, given its short-term nature and the risk it carries for lenders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
