Bridge Loan Definition
A bridge loan is a type of hard money loan wherein guidelines for approval are general based
more more on the property value rather than the income and credit of the applicant. The
required income and asset documentation is usually lower while the appraisal standards are
emphasized. The term "bridge loan" came about because it is a transitional loan from one
type of mortgage into another. It is a shorter term loan that is designed to be used as interim
captial until the following occurs: The property is sells; The property is refinanced with a
conventional loan; The property is improved or completed.
