Question 1

How long does a bridge loan last in Quincy?

Accepted Answer

Most bridge loans run 6 to 12 months. Some lenders extend to 24 months for rural properties where sale timelines are less predictable.

Question 2

Can I get a bridge loan on a rural Plumas County property?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but lender options narrow in rural markets. SRK works with lenders experienced in non-urban California — that's who you want pricing your deal.

Question 3

Do I need to sell my home first to qualify?

Accepted Answer

No — that's the point. Bridge financing lets you purchase before your current home sells. Your existing equity secures the loan.

Question 4

What credit score do I need for a bridge loan?

Accepted Answer

Requirements vary by lender. Bridge loans are Non-QM products, so credit flexibility is greater than conventional. Equity and exit strategy carry more weight. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.

Question 5

Are bridge loan rates higher than conventional rates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bridge loans carry higher rates because they're short-term and Non-QM. The cost buys you speed and flexibility that no conventional loan offers.

Question 6

What happens if my Quincy property doesn't sell in time?

Accepted Answer

Work with your broker on extension options before closing. Some lenders allow short extensions. Having a backup plan — like a rental or price reduction — is critical.
