Correct answer: A short-term bridge loan of 12 months or less to finance a new home while the borrower sells an existing home
HOEPA generally prohibits balloon payments on high-cost mortgages, but there are specific exceptions. One is a short-term bridge loan (12 months or less) that helps a consumer finance a new home purchase while selling an existing home. Borrower preference, lender incentives, and disclosure on the Loan Estimate do not create exceptions to this prohibition. The 12-month maximum for bridge loan exceptions is a specific regulatory threshold students should memorize.
