Bridge Loans

Buying one home and selling another?

You may need a bridge loan.

How can a bridge loan help you?

A bridge loan is usually for people who own their current home and are free of any mortgage payments. Generally, they want to use their home’s equity to make home improvements on a current home and/or a new home they’re purchasing, before they sell their current home. Or, they want to use their home’s equity to make a down payment on a new home before they sell their current one.

At TFCU, bridge loans:

  • Allow you to cash out up to 80% of your home’s equity.
  • Are good for 12 months.

"A bridge loan is the 'bridge' to help you cover closing costs and down payment from selling a home to buying a home."
