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

• Property Taxes

2019 FEDERAL BUDGET

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!
