Are you selling your current home and planning to buy another? If so, you may be wondering how to unlock your equity before closing, reduce your future mortgage payment, and potentially save tens of thousands in taxes.
That’s exactly what our Bridge Loan, Capital Gains Exclusion, and Mortgage Recast Calculator was designed to help you do.
Let’s walk through the strategy, the savings, and how it all works together to build long-term wealth.
Bridge Loans: Leverage Your Current Equity, Even Before You Sell
One of the biggest challenges in today’s market is timing. You find your dream home, but your current one hasn’t sold yet. A bridge loan solves that.
By allowing you to borrow against the equity in your existing home before it closes, a bridge loan gives you:
- A competitive edge with a stronger, non-contingent offer
- A way to cover your new down payment without liquidating investments
- Flexibility to move on your timeline instead of the market’s
For primary residences, you can access up to 80% of your equity. For investment properties or second homes, it’s up to 75%.

Our calculator helps you estimate:
- Your bridge loan equity
- Your cash-to-close and monthly payment
- Your capital gains tax savings
- And your recast-adjusted future payment
Once you see your numbers clearly, you can take action with confidence.
