Do the math, and you'll see that partnering is a lower-risk, higher-reward solution than high-priced hard-money (at least in my experience and the numbers I see).

I would estimate it's around 113%- so higher than 110, and under 125%, but apparently my mortgage is not owned by fannie or freddie, so I don't qualify for the making home affordable program wor whatever that's called.That said, now that I realize I hadn't taken the closing costs into account (and that they were much higher than I thought), it seems both solutions put me in roughly the same boat, at least as far as monthly costs in the near future, and the effect on my ability to purchase a new home.Just looking at the personal loan products I've seen available, I'd estimate that either option will leave me with a payment upwards 8-900$ a month, which drastically reduces my ability to hit my ultimate goal which was to get into a larger home for the growing family.Looks like I will have to keep tossing ideas around on this one, but I may ultimately just be stuck for now...
