Bridge Home Loan

by Ethan Hunter

Most people have no idea what a bridge home loan is, let alone how it can help the get a new home before their old home has sold. Most people also don't realize the massive fees that come with a bridge home loan, which can put them in a serious pickle.

What is a bridge home loan and how does it help? Also, how can it hurt?

The Basics of a Bridge Home Loan

Many people are interested in selling and buying a better, bigger home whereas other people are interested in downsizing, perhaps after the kids moving away. In this case, people look for a home more manageable in size and one that is more affordable.

So you're idly looking, while talking about putting your home up, and you find it. The perfect place - it's cute, the right size, great colors, amazing potential, beautiful neighborhood… you get the drift. And the price is right in your range.

If you are like most people, you need to get the equity out of the existing home in order to buy the ideal home you just found. Obviously, the seller of the perfect home cannot wait forever for your home to sell, especially if other offers are coming in. You on the other hand do not want to wait and then try to find another perfect home after your existing home is sold.

So you really have a huge issue.

In such a case, the bridge home loan might be a great solution. For instance, if there is adequate equity in your home, and you can get your hands on it to use as a down payment on the new home, you might be in a good situation.

That sounds prefect right? This can have some serious problems though as well.

Bridge Home Loan Fees

As mentioned, there are a lot of fees associated with this type of home loan. Obviously, things that sound good usually have some type of catch.

Not very many people go with a bridge home loan due to the interest rates, which are generally higher than you would pay with other types of home loans. Then, the associated fees are definitely more. However, if you were in a position where the bridge home loan could be paid off quickly, then you might find that you save money, not to mention time.

The longer that you take to pay off your loan, the more that you will end up paying on it. Most of the time you will only need a little bit of money to buy your great looking new home. That can help you a lot.

Overall…

A bridge home loan can help you a lot, and make your life a lot easier… and let you get that nice, new home before you thought you could. Talk with a financial advisor if you're not sure, and see what your loan officer things about the possibility.
