FAQ

Bridge loan questions.

How does a bridge loan work?

It's underwritten primarily on your credit and the equity in your existing property, giving you capital to close on the next deal before the first one sells.

What happens when my old property sells?

Proceeds typically pay off the bridge loan in full — it's designed to be temporary, not held long-term.

How quickly can a bridge loan close?

Often within 2–3 weeks, faster than many conventional closings, since it leans on existing equity rather than a full new-purchase underwrite.

Can a bridge loan help my offer compete with cash buyers?

Yes — a non-contingent bridge-funded offer looks much closer to cash in a seller's eyes than an offer contingent on your current property selling first.
