Bridge Loan Best Practices

  • Price aggressively: List your current home at a competitive price for quick sale
  • Cash reserves: Have 6+ months of double payment reserves
  • Market timing: Bridge loans work best in strong seller's markets
  • Pre-qualify: Get bridge loan approval before making offers
  • Consider alternatives: Contingent offers or home equity lines may be better options
