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

A bridge loan<\/a> is essentially a financial tool designed to help you, the homeowner, when you’re caught in the common dilemma of needing to buy a new home before selling your existing one. It literally bridges the gap between two major real estate moments: buying your next home and selling your current one.<\/p>\n

Since those timelines don\u2019t always sync up, a bridge loan offers short-term financing so you can move ahead with your purchase without delay. Then, once your old home sells, you simply use the proceeds to pay it off.<\/p>\n

Due to their temporary nature and the inherent risks involved, bridge loans usually come with slightly higher interest rates compared to conventional mortgages<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
