Is bridging an expensive option?

When I mention bridging finance as a means of funding a property purchase most investors do that sharp intake of breath and, inevitably, say “Isn’t that expensive?”

Most people see bridging as an expensive option as the interest rates are much higher than a mortgage - but, for the smart investor, bridging is only expensive if you don’t use it intelligently.

If you’re in the fortunate position of having enough cash to buy properties outright you’ll know that there are some great bargains to get. Cash buyers never pay full price!
However, if your cash pot isn’t there yet, you may see properties tagged CASH BUYERS ONLY as not for you.

Everyone expects to get a better deal if they’re a cash buyer and it’s certainly possible to get some great property deals if you can offer cash, but it is heavily dependent on two things -

This means for virtually every deal you need to put up...

bridging finance Sep 25, 2020

A property career often starts as a way to supplement your full-time income, these days known as a ‘side hustle’ or ‘the 5-9 job’.
