All loans impact a client’s credit score. Since they acquire new debt, it reflects on the credit report. New debt poses a risk for the client because there’s no true way to know in the beginning if they’ll successfully pay it back in full.

The lender completed their due diligence and found that the individual is in a stable financial position. Nonetheless, things change and can go sideways. Once the client develops a positive payment history, it reflects positively and their credit report walks into favorable territory again.

A bridging loan and credit score impact each other. Bridge loans consist of strict requirements, including solid credit history. Then procuring the financing impacts the credit score because it’s new debt. Additionally, clients that receive a rejection take a hit to their credit report.

Bridge loan applicants require at least 20% of the debt’s value in home equity and solid repayment history. Loan specialists run the numbers and offer a preliminary report for a client before applying.
