Divorce Mortgage Options

FHA World - Divorce Mortgage Options

Divorce Mortgage when you want to keep your home after a divorce. The person that wants to keep the property will need to apply for a mortgage. The person not appling for the mortgage will need to sign the new deed removing their name from ownership and transfering ownership to the other person. You will need to qualify for a new home loan on your own. You can refinance before the divorce is final as long the the other person is willing to sigm off at the closing.

You may not need equity in your property! There are programs available that do not require equity to refinance. You will have to qualify using your income and be able to show that you can afford the new payments.
