Hello everyone:

I am new to this forum and I have a question:

Me and my husband recently bought a home. Both the mortgage and deed our in both names. We are haved alot of personal problems. I am in the process of leaving the house. My husband may have it. What do I go to not be liable for the mortgage in the event he loses his job? What are the steps to be taken and does it cost much as I have no money or job. He is the only one working.

Hi Frances!

Welcome to forums!

If you don't want to remain liable for the mortgage, then you should ask your husband to refinance the home loan in his name. This will release you from the liability of paying the home loan.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Despite the acceleration of housing can be a desired goal, by using the financial calculator you can really put you can not pay the mortgage, even faster than any mortgage acceleration program out there. But beware, when you see how it can help, you may want to make forever.However mortgage, the property seized is almost certainly lower than would be achieved by the homeowner

Smithsussane:
Thank you very much for your input. Dou you happen to know how long we have to own the house before my husband may refinance? We bought the house 3 months ago. I am assuming since it is a new loan (refinance) do we still have to save money for a down payment?

Hi Frances,

You will have to stay in the property for 8-10 months and pay off your existing mortgage on time in order to refinance the loan. As it will be a new loan, you will have to offer 20% down in order to get the loan or else, you'll have to go for private mortgage insurance.

Take care
Frances

I understand the part where we have to stay in the property for 8-10 months. I know that refinancing would be a new loan...the part I don't understand is, how can we pay off our esisting mortgage on time? Did you mean keep up with the mortgage payments on time? It sounded to me like you were saying we had to pay off our existing mortgage in full. Also, 20% down in order to get the loan? That is very, very steep. W

As I was saying....we only paid 4.75 percent on the down payment for our loan.

Hi Frances,

You will be able to refinance your mortgage if you are current on your mortgage payments. Once you refinance your loan, the money that you receive will be used to pay off your existing mortgage. As refinance means taking out a new mortgage, you'll have to offer 20% down in case of a conventional loan. If you are taking out an FHA loan, then you will have to a pay a down payment of around 3-5%.

It would be an FHA loan.

Well,Traditional thinking places clear of the mortgage as a liability.Some even think that financial freedom can not occur for an additional mortgage imminent, probably because of the monthly payment required to maintain it.A mortgage is a type of debt, you can assume your current mortgage is a liability.

The type of mortgage is a debt, you may automatically assume that your current mortgage is a responsibility. However, considering the sale of your home's response. If your home in its current market value of the results of the profit may fall out of your mortgage loan assets.
