Mountain House is a tight, master-planned community. Homes move fast and sellers rarely wait for contingent buyers.
A bridge loan lets you make a clean offer on your next home before your current one sells. That matters here.

Key Qualifier
Bridge loans are non-QM products. Lenders focus on equity in your current home, not just your debt-to-income ratio.
Most lenders want at least 20% equity in your departing home. Strong credit helps, but the asset is the real qualifier.
Big retail banks rarely offer bridge loans. Most of our bridge options come from private and portfolio lenders.
We work with 200+ wholesale lenders. That gives us real options — not just one product dressed up as a few.
The biggest mistake I see: borrowers wait too long to get a bridge loan approved. Get it in place before you find the home.
Have a clear exit strategy. Lenders want to know how you'll repay — typically from your home sale proceeds.
Hard money loans are faster but more expensive. Bridge loans typically offer better rates when you have strong equity.
A HELOC on your current home is cheaper — but closing one while listing a home is tricky. Bridge loans solve that cleanly.
Mountain House has limited inventory and a dense owner-occupant base. Move-up buyers face real timing pressure here.
San Joaquin County's price range often means meaningful equity for owners who bought even 3–4 years ago. That equity is your bridge.
Most bridge loans run 6 to 12 months. That gives you time to sell your current home and pay off the loan.
No. That's the point. You qualify based on equity in your current home, then sell it during the bridge term.
There's no set minimum — equity matters more. Most lenders want solid credit, but asset position drives approval.
Yes. It's one of the best uses for this product. You can make a clean, non-contingent offer in a competitive neighborhood.
Talk to your broker before this becomes a crisis. Most lenders offer short extensions — but plan your exit before day one.
Yes. These are short-term private products. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions, but expect a premium over conventional.
