Buyers: Understanding Credit Ranges and Mortgage Rate Impact

February 16th, 2026 by Robin Williams

As you start looking for a home, your credit score plays a big role in what you can afford. At Wright-Patt Realty, our real estate agents help Beavercreek buyers understand how credit affects their mortgage options every day.

How Credit Score Ranges Affect Your Mortgage Options

Bridge Loan Basics: Yes You Can Buy a Home Before You Sell

October 28th, 2019 by Robin Williams

Bridge Loans - Wright-Patt Realty

Buying a new home when you own another one with a mortgage can be a complicated situation. Most lenders won't qualify you for a new loan until you have sold your current home. Unless you're comfortable with moving into a temporary living situation, you'll need a bridge loan. Our REALTORS® are happy to explain what bridge loans are, how they work, and why they're an attractive option for homeowners who are in fixed situations.

What is a Bridge Loan?

It's all in the name. A bridge loan is a type of financing that is meant to bridge the gap between closing on a new home and selling an existing home. Also called "gap financing" or a "wrap," bridge loans enable individuals to address current needs before securing a mortgage or long-term loan. Bridge loans are usually short-term and can be arranged with little documentation. If you urgently need to buy a new home but are still saddled with your current one, you can facilitate the purchase with a bridge loan. In this case, your existing property becomes the collateral for the loan.
