That can be legally done under the correct situations.You made some serious mistakes in the purchase, that proper training would have prevented.Again, Subto is legal, when done legally and I am not saying you've done anything illegal.The real solution is to sell and pay off the loan.
Lj Cal Keep current low interest rate with a new mortgage
15 December 2024 | 7 replies
So, in your example it might be at 9% interest rate which would make the weighted average HIGHER than taking out a mortgage at today's interest rates because the 2nd mortgage would be 3x as much as the 1st mortgage. 2.
