Bridge loans are nonexistent, I got a line of credit from a bank until my home was sold, house sold quickly, I purchased my home in Paradise and my older home closed within 40 days, Paid the line of credit, it cost me a bit over $1000.00, easy peasy. This is the way to go (at least for me) you can borrow the money from your 401K and if you return the money within 90 days there are no penalties or taxes, however if you do not, the entire amount is tax due for that year, did not wanted to take a chance so I opted for the line of credit!! Good Luck and you will love it here.
