04
Bridge loans make sense in San Bernardino when you've found your next home but your current one hasn't sold yet. At $509,045 median price, most sellers carry meaningful equity.
If your current home has substantial equity and you need to close within weeks, a bridge loan removes the sale contingency. When equity is thin, traditional financing with a contingency is safer.
05
A traditional offer with a sale contingency costs nothing upfront but signals weakness to sellers. A bridge loan carries interest costs but lets you bid as a cash buyer.
The trade-off is speed versus price: pay bridge interest for certainty, or accept a lower offer tied to a contingent sale. That gap varies by lender and borrower file.
