Although we pride ourselves on the fastest closings in the industry – with our Bridge Loan mortgage you won’t have to rush. The Treadstone Bridge Loan allows our customers to make an offer on a new home without being rushed to complete the sale of their current home. Also referred to as an equity forward mortgage or swing loan, the Bridge Loan can provide the down payment for your new home by using the equity in your current home. In many cases, making an offer non-contingent on the sale of your current home increases buying power and gives you flexibility in your homebuying process.
Of course, it’s a little more complicated than that, but that’s why you’re working with us. A Bridge Loan allows homeowners to use their current home’s equity forward to a new home purchase. The funds, sourced from the current home’s equity, can be used for closing costs, down payments, and more, to allow you to buy a new home before selling your current home.
Bridge loans use a short-term loan, borrowing against your current home’s equity, to provide funds to pay for the down payment and closing costs of buying a new home, similar to a cash-out refinance. When the current home sells (separate and non-contingent) from the new home, both the original mortgage and the temporary bridge loan are paid off.
Ideally, homeowners would sell their current home before buying the next— however, it is usually not logistically, conveniently, or financially possible. Our bridge loan provides a great solution for those who qualify, and we are proud to be a bridge loan lender!
These loans also allow you to put a larger down payment on the purchase of your new home.
The bridge loan limit is 75% of your current home’s equity; that means if your home is worth $300,000, your bridge loan limit is $225,000. There are no monthly payments, and the full payment is due within 90 days after the bridge loan closes.
No matter your questions, shoot us a message, and we’ll work with you to get them answered.

Your home’s equity is simply your home’s value, minus the remaining mortgage balance(s). For example, if your home is worth $300,000, and you have $125,000 remaining on your existing home mortgage, your home has $175,000 in equity!
