Bridge loans???
Anyone know anything about bridge loans? We have an offer in on a house, and there is another somewhat higher offer. Those people have a contingency that they sell their house first. We said the same thing, but they said since our offer is lower, they would go with us if we get a bridge loan so they don't have to wait until we sell our house to close.
Seems risky to me - I don't know if we could afford to pay three loans at once if our house doesn't sell.

Re: Bridge loans???
I asked my agent about these when we were selling and buying. It seems they don't exist anymore. We came up with another down payment and sold out house 2 weeks after buying - so no double mortgage), but the people we bought from took out a HEL/HELOC before they listed and used that as their down payment for their new house.
good luck

Same here. We're taking out a second on our new house unless this house sells before we close because we can't pull our equity out of this house unless it sells in time.
