Bridge Loans

You found your new dream home. There’s just one problem: you haven’t sold your old home yet! Many homeowners find themselves in this sticky situation. How do I afford a new mortgage when I still have my old home loan? The answer is a mortgage bridge loan. With a Bridge Loan, you can make the down payment on your new loan and move into your new home. Once you’ve made the transition to your new home, you can focus on staging and selling your old house. Town and Country Bank and Peoples Prosperity Bank are here to help you "bridge the gap" from listing to relaxing.

What is a Bridge Loan?

Bridge Loans are short-term loans with terms of nine months or less. Home bridge loan lenders help to cover the gap between two long-term financing options, such as two mortgages. Bridge loans are paid off in a lump sum at the end of the financing term.

Benefits of a Residential Bridge Loan?
