Buyer Bolster: Buy Before You Sell with Steadfast Mortgage
Steadfast Mortgage is empowering buyers with their new Buy Before You Sell program, allowing buyers to write an offer without a home sale contingency, move into the new home and then sell their current home without their current mortgage being counted against them in their debt to income ratio.
For example, if the value of your current house is $400,000 and the current mortgage balance is $200,000, the maximum value of the equity loan is $120,000, which you can use for a down payment on your new home or to make repairs to your existing home before you sell.
How does it work?
- Steadfast inspects and analyses your current home to pre-approve both the purchase of your new home and the equity loan on your current home.
- Your new loan provides cash that can be used for the down payment on your new home, to make improvements on your current home or to cover the mortgage payments on your current house.
- Close on your new home and take your time moving and making upgrades.
- Focus on improving and selling your old home within six months. Once you close on your new home, you will have six months to sell your old house, pay back the second mortgage and pay off previous loans. This means you can avoid the hassle of showing your current home while you still live there.
