Im getting a divorce and our house is not selling......?
I am considering re-finacing the whole thing in my name and renting it out until the market improves. Will this hurt me more than it will help me? I need some professional advice.
Additional Details
By the way right now niether one of us can afford to live there. with our two incomes now separate, I can only hope to rent it out for the cost of the mortgage payment. Is this realistic?

You should probably consider lowering the price on it. Neither one of you will take the hit for the whole price reduction, so it won't feel quite as bad as it could be. But I think that holding onto it will accomplish 3 things:
1. Continue to complicate things. If you can get it sold before the divrce is finalized it makes it simpler.
2. Continue to be a financial drain. Even if you can rent it out for the whole Mortgage cost, you are still having to pay for Insurance, Taxes, upkeep, not to mention if you have tenant problems
3. A potential very bad mark on your credit report. If you can not keep up with the payments and it goes into foreclosure then you have more to lose.

All told make your life easier and simpler. Lower the asking price and talk to the realtor to find out what else you can do to get it moving quicker. (Maybe putting some sweat equity, and a little cash in now, could make a difference.)

Refinancing always costs more.

Renting is risky, make sure you do credit checks and background checks on the tenants, and maybe off them a lease with option to buy to get a better price out of them, and they might fix it up more. If they are good, consider carrying a mortgage for them, you can get about 3 times as much money that way.

The best advice, is RECONCILE!

Divorce is HELL!


Price is what you pay for value.
Not sure if this would help. Usually, a housing market correction last for years. It is unlikely things will brighten up in a few months, afterall, this bubble took 5 years for form.

It might be better to give some discount so you unload the house quickly and can use the gain of the home to make money elsewhere quickly. At the same time, you will save money by not paying mortgage for the next 5 months.

For example, if mortgage is $2500/mo. and you have $300,000 gain sitting in the house, by selling it now rather than 5 months later will save you $12500. It will also earn you as much as $7000 from interests (Assuming CD are paying 5.5% or higher).

Total financial benefit for selling early would be $20,000. I would give buyer some discount just because of that.

Finally, keeping a house in selling condition is a lot of work. If your realtor does staging, it costs extra to rent furnitures. If you are living in the unit, it takes extra effort to keep it clean. So, sell it fast!

you take a gamble refinancing and renting. assuming the renters are deadbeats and don't pay, that will put you in a precarious situation that will only lead to foreclosure. and depending on your credit and income, refinancing may actually hurt you if you're payment is too high. you can get rates and estimates on proposed monthly payments and see if you are able t swing those payments. however, depending on your LTV and credit again, might be kind of rough. if you have good credit than it should be okay for you to do. if you're credit is poor than don't even bother refinancing and simply lower the asking price of the house.

There are several options, I have been able to assit peole in your situation with. refinancing would be a option that will help you. Now which program you get into will depend on you. Depending on your credit scor you could get into a refinance program which would drop your rate low to about 3% that way you could make a minimal payment until the house sells or you find a renter.

I recommend refinancing into an Option Arm with no prepayment penalty and then put it right back on the market. An option arm would reduce the interest to anywhere between 1% to 3.5% depending on credit and equity in the property. You could even pull cash out and pay your soon to be ex off. I hope this helps you but if you have any additional questions please feel free to email me or visit my website www.dantadgerson.com.

A month-to-month rental agreement is always an option if the area where the house is located can support the mortgage costs. But even in this case you will have to pay a commision to the listing agent. You may want to consider dicusssing the feasibility of a "short sale" with a realtor if you think that you owe more than the amount you will realize from the sale of the house after closing costs. Good luck!

Housing market has topped out and prices are falling about 10-20%. The longer you wait, the cheaper your house will be.
