Karen and Jay need a larger home. They have two large dogs and a baby on the way. One day in the real estate section, they see their dream home. The couple view the home that very day, make an offer, and it's accepted. There's only one problem: They haven't even put their home on the market. Which type of loan gives Karen and Jay their best option of paying two mortgages until their current home sells?

Answer: BRIDGE LOAN

Explanation: As the name says the bridge loan are the type of loans that bridge the difference between the new home of the buyer and the new mortgage in case the buyers existing home hasn't been sold yet. It is a type of short term loan, the usual time period for such kinds of loan is 2 weeks to 3 years.

In this case Karen and Jay have purchased the new house but sale of their old house is still pending thus from the above explanation we can conclude that bridge loan would be appropriate for them.
