Default Bridge Loan

What is Bridge Loan? Did you ever take a bridge loan? Is it wise to do so?

A bridge loan is temporary financing you can get your permanent financing. For example if you live in a condo and you buy a house, you can get a bridge loan, which will be partially repaid when your condo is sold. The rest of the bridge loan will be repaid from the permanent financing.
