When do I need a Bridge Loan?

What Is a Bridge Loan?

What is a bridge loan, and how should a real estate investor use it?

Let’s get the obvious out of the way first: they are not used to buy a bridge.

Then why are they called a “bridge loan”? Because they’re short-term loans that bridge a gap left by other financing or by the timing of your investments.

How Does a Bridge Loan Work?

Bridge loans fill a need for short-term capital. These loans have a short duration and cover a gap from:

  • Hard money to long-term financing.
  • One property selling to buying another.
  • Covering a down payment or closing faster on a new property.

They’re always secured by your current property. For most bridge loans, you pay them off between a few weeks to a few months later.

When Is a Bridge Loan a Good Idea?

You can use bridge loans to purchase a property while waiting on another property to close. Once the first property sells, you use that money to pay the bridge loan off.

The loan works perfect when a bank is dragging its feet to close a loan, or asks for another 30-60 days for processing.

As long as there is a property with good equity available, you can use it as collateral for the bridge loan.
