Need some advice both financial and legal. My mother is selling her house but in the meantime she has seen another house she wants to buy. She has no capital and I have agreed to buy it for her. While I can put capital of 25% down on the house I still need to find the remaining funds, so I am assuming mortgage, my own is paid off.
But when she sells her property she will give the funds to me to pay off the debt, this may only be a matter of months. So my question is does a mortgage sound the right thing here, should we put it in joint names, if only my name can I transfer the house to her and is their any capital gains issues if I just put it in my name then she give me the cash to pay it off……help.. by the way i am in the UK
In the US: you could purchase the new home together, both names on the mortgage and title. and when she has the proceeds of her new home you could pay down or off the principal of the new existing loan. (only if there is no pre-payment penalty) some banks require a 2 or even 3 year prepay penalty that means you will be penalized a percentage of the loan amount if you pay if off early. so make sure you let your mortgage broker know what you plan to do ahead of time that way he can find the best program.
YOU will not be able to do the loan as a primary residence if you already have an existing mortgage reporting on your credit- even if there is a 0 balance, although your mother probably could seeing as she has her current home on the market. the underwritter can clearly see she is trying to move. but it will be a controversy between each lender as to how they are going to classify it.
(you- second home or investment property and your mom- primary residence.) but in this case mortgage would be the best bet and you both can be on title. or you can buy the home in only your name and have her on title with you. either way- when you get ready to do this discuss it with your mortgage professional in the UK. Goodluck

I need to add someone to the title of my house – not the mortgage. Can someone please tell me the steps involved in doing so. I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Thanks!
Your best bet would be to contact the Provincial Land Title Office of the Provincial Government. Probably, it’s not difficult to do.

I am trying to sell my house quickly and I would like to know if there is another way besides listing it for sale and following the process of showing in and accepting offers from buyers.
lenders dont buy homes….private investors do.

My brother and I need cash for a business venture and would like to take a loan out against an residential investment property that we co-own free and clear. Is our only option a Home Equity Loan? Ideally we would like to take advantage of the lower rates of a standard mortgage.
You’d want a cashout refinance, and then you’d take 100% of the loan proceeds, minus closing costs. Fixed mortgages have better rates than HELOCs, so a regular mortgage is the way to go.

I have a total debt of $348,000 including the mortgage, 4 lines of credit, and credit cards. I am able to make all payments and just want to consolidate. Wouldn’t one lending institution want my money that I am paying to 12 different ones?
Refinancing your mortgage will typically be the best option, as it can save you hundreds of dollars per month if you’re refinancing from a high interest rate to a lower rate.
The website below may provide some insight for you.

I live in California, and I just refinance my mortgage. I found out that the mortgage processing company made about 1.2% commission of the loan amount. How much can a loan agent make? If the loan is $1 million, the agent could make $10k for just one loan. Is it the case?
The limit varies from state to state. In California, it’s 6% of the loan amount. I know of places that make 3 to 5 percent on every loan from people who don’t think they have a choice. Some states do not have limits. 1.2 percent is not bad. I average a little less than 1 percent total compensation, and I’m way below most of the market.
Of course, judging the loan by how much the loan company makes (or has to disclose – direct lenders don’t have to disclose what they make while brokers do) is a good way to end up with a bad loan. Judge the loan by the loan the competition could have delivered to you. If one loan is a thirty year fixed at 6.5% with no points, that’s a better loan than 6.75% with one point. Doesn’t matter what the loan company made – you get a better deal with the first loan.
