Bridge Loans | Bridge Loan Mortgage

A Bridge Loan – also known as gap financing or a swing loan; can provide the money you need to help complete the new purchase. The funds from the bridge loan are then used as a down payment on the new home by leveraging the equity in your existing home.

A bridge loan is a short-term loan designed to provide financing during a transition period, such as moving from one house to another. The homeowner is faced with sudden move or transition, such as having to relocate for work, might prefer a bridge loan to the help with cost of buying a new home.
