If you're an investor who wants to sell one property, and purchase a new property to fix and flip with the proceeds, a bridge loan can help you buy the new property while you're still working on selling the one you currently own. Bridge loans are specifically designed to "bridge" the gap in time between two real estate transactions-- so they typically have terms of between 2 weeks and 1 year, giving borrowers the time they need to complete their desired sale. These loans usually require that borrowers have the financial capability to pay both mortgages at once, and a clearly defined exit strategy-- typically involving the sale or refinance of first property before the end of the bridge loan term.
