Bridge loans are a specialty product. Most retail banks don't offer them—brokers and portfolio lenders do. SRK CAPITAL shops bridge loans across its wholesale lender network to find the best terms for your situation.
Underwriting focuses on the equity in your current home and the new purchase price. Lenders verify your existing mortgage balance and run a quick appraisal or automated valuation. The speed comes from a process built for time-sensitive closings.
04
Bridge loans make sense in Simi Valley when you need to move fast and your current home carries real equity. Sellers with substantial equity can often use bridge financing to buy before they sell.
They don't make sense if your current home is underwater or if you can wait for a sale-contingency offer. Bridge interest accrues daily and you're carrying two mortgages briefly—that cost adds up if you don't need the speed.
05
A bridge loan closes fast and lets you make a clean offer. A traditional mortgage with a sale contingency is cheaper but slower—sellers often pass on contingent offers in competitive markets.
Bridge loans carry higher interest rates and daily accrual. Contingent offers carry no extra cost but depend on your current home selling within a set timeframe, which adds risk if the market softens.
