If you’ve ever been turned down for a standard loan or if you need money quickly and don’t have time to go through a traditional loan approval process, you may have other options. There are several types of funding—including bridge loans—that are easier to qualify for and provide quick funds.
How Bridge Loans Work
A bridge loan is a temporary loan that’s meant to provide the borrower with financial support until more permanent funding can be arranged or until an asset can be sold. It’s often used to cover a short interval between transactions; specifically the period between buying a home and selling another.
Benefits of Bridge Loans
Bridge loans are popular because they offer a variety of benefits to borrowers. Some of the more notable benefits include the following:
- No monthly payments
- Quick source of cash
- Better control of purchasing timelines
Most bridge loans don’t require the borrower to make regular monthly installments. This is because the borrower typically pays off the entire loan in one large payment once he or she has sold a home or asset.
Bridge loans offer cash more quickly than standard loans, so they’re a great option when you need money fast. When you want to purchase a property, you don’t always have the luxury of waiting traditional funding to go through.
Finally, bridge loans give you more control over when and how you purchase a property. Without a bridge loan, you might be forced to wait for a current property to sell before you can put the funds toward another property purchase. With a bridge loan, you can purchase the property you want, when you want it. You’ll have the flexibility to pay the entire loan balance off once you sell your current home or property.
