Question 1

How quickly can a bridge loan close in Rolling Hills Estates?

Accepted Answer

Most bridge loans close in 10-15 days once appraisals complete. We've closed some in 7 days when buyers waive appraisal contingencies.

Question 2

What happens if my current home doesn't sell during the bridge loan term?

Accepted Answer

You can extend for 6 months at 1-2 points, refinance both properties into permanent financing, or sell at adjusted pricing. Plan your exit before closing.

Question 3

Can I get a bridge loan on an investment property?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but rates run 1-2% higher than owner-occupied bridge loans. You need stronger equity positions and larger reserves.

Question 4

Do bridge lenders require my existing home to be listed?

Accepted Answer

Most require an active listing or signed agreement to list within 30 days. They want proof you're serious about selling, not speculating.

Question 5

How much equity do I need for a Rolling Hills Estates bridge loan?

Accepted Answer

Plan on 50% minimum across both properties combined. Lenders want cushion since luxury markets can shift during your loan term.
