What is another term for Permanent Financing?

• A. Bridge loan
• B. Take Out Loan
• C. Construction loan
• D. Home equity loan

Answer: (B)

Permanent financing is the long-term loan that pays off the short-term construction financing once the project is complete. The term used for this replacement loan is a take-out loan—the idea being that it “takes out” the construction loan and converts the project to long-term debt. This setup provides a stable, amortizing payment over many years (often 15 to 30), rather than the short-term, interest-only or variable-rate structure of a construction loan. Bridge loans are designed to bridge a gap before permanent financing is in place, so they’re temporary. A construction loan is specifically for funding the building phase and is intended to be paid off when construction ends. A home equity loan relies on existing equity in a current home and isn’t the standard mechanism to fund the completion or long-term financing of a new construction project.
