WOW, I may have to start considering making counter Offers to those wanting to buy my House, but only after November 10th.
Since Banks like to get Creative with their Mortgages sometimes, I wonder if they will consider doing a “Take Over Mortgage” where the buyer makes a deal with the Home Owner and pays a Fee to the Bank to allow the Buyer to Assume the Mortgage and take it out of the Sellers Name. This would be ideal if the Seller has a Low Interest Rate, mine is 2.74%. I could walk away with about $125,000 Cash.
