The only penalties I can think of may come from the mortgage you originated. Check your documents, and or with your lender to see if you have a pre-payment clause that may be due if you sell before a specified time. Even if you did not put any additional upgrades in your home it usually takes about 2 years of ownership before you can recoup your expenses. Your best option may be to rent the property out with an option to buy. Buy doing this you may find a tenant that will take care of the property because they will possibly buy at the end of the term. Another plus is that you will collect higher rent for this option. In addition, you may save some selling expense at the end of the term. Be sure to use an attorney to assist you. Also be cautious about using a rental agency to manage your property. Do it yourself if you can. Using the rent with option to buy method can get you the time you need to be able to recoup your expenses. |

Look at your loan documents to see if there is a prepayment penalty |

in your loan docs, there is a section specific to prepayment penalties.....IF you have one, it's usually 36 months......Next time you move......rent first!!!! |

Specifically it is the Promissory nNote that stipulates the terms of your loan, at the end of the "NOTE" you should have a section called pre payment clause or rider. This will tell you if you have a pre pay penalty and how long it is until you can get out without a penalty. |

Why not rent the place out? I believe SC is a very hot housing market, so you could easily rent it for more then your mortgage payment, hold onto it for a few years and then sell it when you are of retirement age to avoid some of the taxes possibly. |

Pre payoff penalties are likely what you are asking about so heres what they are, and why they are there. A mortgage loan that has a fixed then adjustable feature will have a pre pay to insure it has either some shelf life, or instant profit for the bank. Any loan fixed or otherwise will have a pre-pay also if the lender is receiving rebate. Generally the prepay will not allow more than a specified amount of pay down per year during the pre pay term.
If you trigger a escalation clause the most often used penalty is 6 months interest on 80% of the original loan amount. |

It depends on the market price of your upgraded house. For example, say you paid $200,000 for the house and put $21,000 into upgrades. If can sell it for, say, $240,000,000 and pay sales commission of $14,400 (6%) and closing costs of perhaps $4.500, you break even, not taking into consideration the cost of moving to SC and back to AZ. Since you would be making no profit on the sale, the transaction would not be subject to income taxes so you would not be penalized for the sale. |
