Category: Florida Bridge Loans

A bridge loan is a short-term financing solution designed to bridge the financial gap between purchasing a new home and selling your previous home. In situations where you intend to buy before selling, and thus lack the proceeds from the sale for your new home’s down payment, a financial challenge arises. If you find yourself in this scenario, a bridge loan becomes a viable option to secure funds for your new home purchase. The bridge loan pays off the existing lien [ if applicable ] while providing the cash out needed for down payment on the new home. The equity from the current home is used for down payment for the new home and typically lasts about a year until you begin making repayments.
