DEFINITION of 'Bridge Loan'. A short-term loan that is used until a person or company secures permanent financing or removes an existing obligation. This type of financing allows the user to meet current obligations by providing immediate cash flow.
A balloon loan is a short-term mortgage with a fixed interest rate and fixed monthly principal and interest payments based on a 30-year amortizing schedule similar to a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. At the end of the term, which typically lasts for three, five or seven years, the outstanding balance (the balloon) must be repaid.
