Buying a new home can be an exciting adventure, but what if you haven’t sold your existing home yet? Enter bridge loans – a financial tool that can help you bridge the gap between selling your current home and buying a new one. At BrightSide Lending, we not only offer bridge loans, but we also provide a range of alternatives to make your homebuying journey smoother.

What is a Bridge Loan?

Imagine you’ve found your dream home, but your current one hasn’t sold. This is where a bridge loan comes in handy. A bridge loan is a short-term loan that helps you cover the gap between buying a new home and selling your existing one. It acts as a temporary financial bridge until you can sell your current home and pay off the loan.

How Do Bridge Loans Work?

  1. Loan Amount: Bridge loans are typically based on the equity in your current home.
  2. Short-Term: They have a short repayment period, usually around six months to a year.
  3. Interest Rates: Interest rates may be slightly higher than traditional mortgages due to the short-term nature.
