A bridge loan is used when someone wants to sell an old property to buy a new property but cannot sell the old one before the required time. He or she uses this loan to purchase the new property and pays it back when he or she sells the old property.

Bridge Loans <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is short-term financing issued to anyone over a specific period as a loan to acquire a specified property (home) or solve a taxing issue. It is normally used to solve an immediate problem. However, this group or person is expected to provide collateral in the form of a property or business and is required to pay back the loan with interest over a specified period. Meanwhile, it is used to bridge the gap between short-term cash needs and long-term debt obligations. Normally, these loans are for a duration of 12 months or less, and there are necessary requirements to qualify for a bridge loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The loan might be paid back in predetermined monthly installments. Another alternative demands a one-time payment at the conclusion of the loan period or when the property is sold, with interest sometimes collected during this time. Alternatively, the loan could be set up with monthly interest-only payments and a balloon payment at the end of the term or when the house is sold. Repayments are frequently not due for several months after the loan is closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who Offers Bridge Loans?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A bridge loan can be received from credit unions or financial institutions like central banks, retail and commercial banks, internet banks, savings and loan associations, investment banks, investment companies, brokerage firms, insurance companies, and mortgage companies. However, it is mostly offered by mortgage companies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
