11 of 11 - Which loan covers the period of time between the end of one mortgage and the beginning of another?
Construction
Wraparound
Open-end
Bridge
You answered incorrectly
A bridge loan is typically used between the end of a construction loan and the issue of a permanent loan or to fund the purchase of a new home before the current home is sold. The bridge loan works well for these situations because it is a short-term loan that covers the period between the end of one loan and the beginning of another.
