In this episode of The Approval Advantage Podcast, mortgage broker Mike Baltazar compares a traditional bridge loan with his Buy Before You Sell program — a one-loan solution that lets qualified buyers move with no required monthly payment on the bridge amount, no home sale contingency, and a built-in safety net if the old home takes longer to sell than planned.
