๐ Keeping the house after divorce? โYou get the houseโ is only the beginning.
Your settlement needs to account for the mortgage, equity, expenses, ownership, and whether keeping the home is actually financially sustainable.
Here are 6 things every divorcing homeowner should understand:
1๏ธโฃ What happens to the mortgage?
Changing ownership and changing mortgage responsibility are two different things.
2๏ธโฃ Can you actually keep the home?
โRefinance laterโ sounds simple, but income, debt, qualification, and lending conditions all matter.
3๏ธโฃ Whatโs Plan B?
If keeping the home doesnโt work out, knowing your next option can make the transition easier.
4๏ธโฃ How will the equity be handled?
Understand the homeโs value, the equity involved, and how it fits into the overall settlement.
5๏ธโฃ Whoโs paying for what?
Mortgage, taxes, insurance, HOA fees, repairs, and maintenance still need to be covered.
6๏ธโฃ Does keeping the home fit your financial future?
Being awarded the house and being able to comfortably afford it on your own are two very different things.
