Does your current home count against your income to debt ratio if you already have a purchase agreement?

You really need to have a loan officer look at your financial numbers, not a real estate agent. If you can qualify using both homes and a new purchase, you are in no hurry to list one or both of the properties. I would be pleased to refer you to a great lender in Michigan. barb.lanis@1amllc.com

Hello, If the property hasn't been sold, then you would have to have enough income to cover all liability payments that show up on a credit report. If you can't qualify to cover all of the liabilities including the 3rd mortgage, then yes you would have to sell your other house first. I would get pre-approved by a lender who is licensed in Michigan.

Your realtor should not be telling you what you can or cant qualify for. The bottom line is you can have up to 4 financed properties and still qualify. However, if you want to buy your new home before you sell the old one, you will need to be able to qualify by including ALL the mortgages in your debt ratio calculation. In order for this calculation to be made, one would need a copy of your credit report. It is irresponsible for your reltor to make that type of suggestion without having all the information. As long as you have enough income to qualify, you wont need to sell the condo first. Joe Shamie 866-970-3400 x-274

Hi, typically when your buying a home and have 2 others, the biggest hurdle is qualification for all 3 homes.There are a few guildelines for your particular scenario.I would check with a local licensed mortgage company and discuss your particulars with them. Many times, the Realtor will be surprised at the possibilities.Good LuckMG

Like Barb said, you should be talking to a loan officer not a realtor about mortgage advice.It depends on what type loan you get but you should be ok with 2 mortgages as long as your debt ratio is in line with both payments.

What if the buyer changes their mind? What if the appriasal doesnt come in at the right value and the buyer walks? THis is why...
