BRIDGE FINANCING

LOAN PROGRAM

Designed for buyers who need to move quickly, bridge financing provides short-term funds to purchase a new property before an existing one sells.

WHY CHOOSE A BRIDGE LOAN?

Financing That Bridges The Gap

Our bridge loans provide short-term access to the equity in your current property, helping you move forward before that property is sold or other long-term financing is available. These loans have a six-month, interest-only term and are placed in a second-lien position behind the existing first mortgage. The first mortgage and bridge loan may total up to 75% combined financing.

Who Is a Bridge Loan Best For?

A bridge loan may be a great fit for a homeowner who needs temporary financing to purchase another property before selling their current home. It can also be useful when funds are needed for a down payment, closing costs, renovations, or another time-sensitive real estate opportunity.

Examples:

  • A homeowner purchasing a new home before the current home is sold.

  • A buyer using equity from an existing property for the down payment and closing costs on another property.

  • A homeowner who needs short-term funds while waiting for the sale of a property to close.

  • A borrower who wants to act quickly on a real estate opportunity without immediately refinancing the existing first mortgage.

Borrowers do not have to meet every example above. Approval requirements vary based on property value, available equity, credit profile, existing mortgage balance, repayment strategy, and other program guidelines.
