Job transfer, need to buy new home but already have mortgage... I was curious what the process is if we just found out we are moving because of a job transfer to a city about 2 hours away but need to buy a home in that city while selling our current home. How do you get a 2nd mortgage? We have a fair credit rating due to so many credit cards but it was good before the credit cards. Do we just need to go through our current mortgage leander or do most people have to sell first? HELP! We cannot be homeless!!!

Hi Guest. Welcome to the forum.

How good your credit is and how much do you earn. I think you should first sell your property to reduce the DTI ratio and for the time being rent out a house.

If you don't sell your current property can you afford the two mortgage payments together?

Best of luck,
Larry

obtaining a new mortgage will, in large part, be impacted by what will happen with your current home. if you can sell your home concurrently with the purchase of a new home, you'll not have much trouble in qualifying (assuming all else is favorable).

if you're unable to sell the home, but can find a tenant who'll rent from you; that might be the solution you need. of course, you don't want to let that property sit vacant when you move, unless your sale will take place shortly after the move.

the largest problem you're likely to face is actually affordability; if your current home isn't sold prior to the new purchase, you'll have to qualify for the new loan with both mortgages being considered in your monthly obligations. that could be problematic, of course.

conceptually you can do this, spoiled. but if you're selling the home, you'll have to pay that loan off. lenders are often leery about granting loans on properties that are about to be sold, also.

no, jojo, it doesn't work that way. a mortgage is valid for only the property on which it was granted. you cannot switch a mortgage from one property to another. each is a different transaction. you can sell the current home and buy the other one.

yes, you certainly may sell your home, jojo. if your value is sufficiently high, you'll make a profit when you do so. that, of course, is the desired result.

I want to rent out our current home and buy a small condo in florida for 30,000. What is the procedure when your credit score is 575 and all debts are paid on time for three yrs and i have nothing else to pay off. i have a down payment of 40%

Hi KE,

Though you've a down payment of 40%, it would be difficult for you to get a mortgage with a credit score of 575. You need to improve your credit score first and then look out for loans. You can check out the given page in order to take some steps to improve your credit score:
