LESS THAN 20%???
• Purchase new owner occupied with 5% down
• Move in & leave your existing behind as a rental
• Has to make sense
• Using rental income to qualify:
• Legal conforming suite and we can only use a % of the rental income
DIVORCE
• This is tough
THREE CHOICES
• One buys the other out
• You sell
• You wait
• Yes, you will need a separation agreement
• The home can be refinanced (purchased) up to 95% of the value for buyout and joint debt reduction
SO THIS IS A THING
I NEED YOU TO KNOW
• It’s not just Purchase Price

TRUE OR FALSE
• The second time you purchase the down payment is 10%?
• Keep credit cards maxed out?
• You can change jobs after you move into your home?
• You need a team of trusted advisors with experience?
• There are no fees to work with a mortgage broker?
MY ADVICE TO YOU
• Everything happens for a reason
• Bad things happen to good people
• Get a pre-approval FIRST
• Sell your house subject to you obtaining financing on a new one
• Over estimate rather than under
• Make all mortgage payments on time to be offered a renewal without having to qualify
THANK YOU!
