9/3/24 – Bridge Loan Qualifications – Oktoberfest – Blood Drive

Slow holiday weekends are usually the norm, but this holiday weekend was mainly about Bridge Loans. Please understand that Bridge Loans do not have any income qualifications! That means I don’t care if you are self-employed, unemployed, on disability, or anything else. The Bridge loan does not have any income qualifications!!!

 

On the other hand, if you are selling and trying to purchase a house that will need a loan, then you have to consider the Bridge Loan and the payment on the home you are selling.

 

So if you have a couple that is making $20,000 per month and the house they are departing has a $2000 payment, and the Bridge Loan has a $2000 payment, and the couple has no other bills, then they can qualify for a payment that is about $6000 per month (50% of their monthly income). If their payment is going to be $8000, then they have to do one of the following:

 

  1. Rent their current property to offset the mortgage payment and also deposit the rental income in their bank account
  2. Have their property pending sale with all contingencies removed by the buyer
  3. Get a double Bridge Loan and qualify after the current residence is sold.

 

Often, people come to us and say they are approved for their purchase loan and want to stick with their current lender. I am OK with that, but other lenders often don’t understand how to get files to work when dealing with Bridge Loans.

 

I am available all week if you need anything. Let me know if you have any questions or if someone is interested in buying a property! My cell is 661-714-6258, and my office line is 661-260-2970 ext. 2222. My direct line is 661-291-2222. When you text me, please text (661-714-6258) or email me at Mike@AugustaFinancial.com.
