Question 1

How long does a bridge loan last in Apple Valley?

Accepted Answer

Most bridge loans run 6 to 12 months. Some lenders offer extensions — but those cost extra.

Question 2

Do I need to sell my home first to qualify?

Accepted Answer

No. That's the point. You qualify based on equity in your current home, then sell after you close.

Question 3

Are bridge loan rates higher than a regular mortgage?

Accepted Answer

Yes, noticeably higher. Bridge loans are short-term, non-QM products — the rate reflects that risk. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.

Question 4

Can I use a bridge loan to buy an investment property?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bridge loans work for investment purchases too. Pair it with a longer-term investor loan once you sell.

Question 5

What happens if my Apple Valley home doesn't sell in time?

Accepted Answer

You'll need an extension or a refinance. This is why your exit strategy must be solid before you start.
