Understanding Bridge Loans: A Comprehensive Guide

What is a Bridge Loan?

A bridge loan is a short-term financing option designed to "bridge" the gap between immediate financial needs and longer-term financing or the sale of an asset. These loans are commonly used in real estate transactions when a buyer needs to purchase a new property before selling their current one.
