Bridge Loan vs Contingent Offer vs Rent-Back
The best path depends on your timeline and risk tolerance. Use a bridge loan if you need to buy before you sell and want offer strength, choose a rent-back when you sell first and need 30–90 days to move, and use a contingent offer only in softer segments.
