Several variables here to consider depending on equity in current home and whether you can afford both payments and qualify. Feel free to reach out to discuss!

Can you afford both payments? Will your debt ratio support both payments? Do you have money to put down on the new home without selling your current one? If not, how much will you have available to put down once your home sells? You have good credit so that definitely makes things easier and allows you more options to choose from. Lots of things to discuss. I'm available any time. 563-324-9937. Todd Tholl

Really depends on how much cash you have to work with until it sells and, as questioned above, whether you are comfortable making both payments. We do that all the time, but the details of your qualifications and comfort make a difference.

More info would be needed to properly answer your question, but in general, so long as you have sufficient income to service both mortgage payments along with all your other debt, you should have no problem.. If you haven't already, you should contact a local mortgage professional and let him look at your complete loan profile.. he should be able to advise you properly once he see's everything.. ..

If you can qualify with BOTH mortgage payment, you should not have any problem.
