Bridge Morgage Basics, Definition & Options

A Bridge Morgage is a type of hard money loan typically used for transitional financing. It is generally a shorter term loan of less than 18 months that serves as 'interim financing' until the property sells, is refinanced with a conventional/permanent loan, is improved or otherwise completed.

Bridge Morgage options are generally based on a borrower's equity position in a property as well as the value of that property. Considerations of credit and income are less of a concern because these types of loans often have 'Interest Carry' which, in effect, means proceeds from the loan are used to make the monthly payments until permanent financing has been secured. On account of the above asset documentation is also less stringent. Offsetting this is that the appraisal standards are much more heavily emphasized.
