Not all loans work for every homebuyer — certain buyers may need a more specific type of financing to fit their situation. At HUNT Mortgage our team provides homebuyers with a wide range of specialty loans designed to suit a variety of needs.
Wondering if a specialty loan might be right for you? Take a look at our offerings below to see if one of them might work for you.
A variety of non-conventional loans to meet your needs.
BRIDGE LOANS
If you are planning to use your current home’s equity as a down payment on your new home, then a bridge loan may be the right choice for you. HUNT Mortgage offers the Golden Gate – The Bridge to Your New Home. The Golden Gate allows homeowners to purchase a new primary residence with the assistance of a bridge loan on their current residence from HUNT Mortgage. As an added benefit, if you use a licensed real estate sales professional affiliated with a HUNT Real Estate company, the Golden Gate guarantees that if your current residence does not sell, it will be purchased by HUNT Real Estate Corporation.
Bridge Loan Benefits:¹
- The property will be purchased at 85% of the gross market price³
- There will be no monthly payments for the bridge loan, payment is due at the end of the term
