9/24/24 – Flex Bridge Loan

Do you ever have those clients ready to sell their house but need a few bucks to finish up a few items around the house, maybe a kitchen, bathroom, paint, or flooring?

 

How about a client ready to buy a house and will have plenty of money for the down payment when their sale closes but needs the 2% deposit on the home they are buying?

 

Or a client with poor credit scores due to the high debt load they carry on their credit cards? They plan to pay the cards off when they sell their house but want to buy immediately after they sell, and a higher credit score could save them $200-$300 per month on the new house.

 

Any or all of the above loans are perfect for our Flex-Bridge Loan! The Flex-Bridge Loan can be as low as $1000 and as high as $200,000 and can be used for any of the above reasons and more! Our goal is to help our clients get from house A to house B as inexpensively as possible with as little stress as possible, and the Flex-Bridge Loan should be helpful for those clients who need a little help because they are not sitting on mounds of cash at this time.

 

These loans can be funded in 48 hours or less with a credit report, proof of home ownership, and sufficient equity. The Flex-Bridge loan can be used if you are purchasing, refinancing, or getting a second mortgage. We will get your buyer’s information and qualify them for the purchase simultaneously to make the seamless transition into their new home.

 

The Elephant in the room is wondering what other lenders will do this. I have never seen one, and if they do, I guarantee they will charge more than we do!!!
