Is this how it would work?

If I sell a $500k house with $100k left on the note, part of the proceeds go to pay that off.

How do you transfer a mortgage to a new property?

If I’m buying a $750k property do I get to the full $500k from my sale, borrow $250k at current rate but then continue paying off the $100k at the lower rate rather than being forced to pay it off? Does the old mortgage then become a second in the new house?

I guess that’s better than having to borrow the full $350k at prevailing rate and restart amortization.

If you assume the mortgage then you will have to pay the homeowner equity in cash.

Good luck with that!

Charles Payne is interviewing a CEO of a mortgage lender and they're saying the future of mortgages is to make them portable. I caught the end of the discussion but am curious what this means. Is Charles saying that if you have 3% with say 25 years left on your current home, you can sell it and move that 3% to your new home even if current rates are at 7?


Banks can do this if they want to. Nothing is stopping them. I hope they do

Yep. If they do this I would expect the rate to be at least 2% more than a non portable 30 year mortgage. A portable mortgage would essentially be a fixed line of credit with a fixed rate.

Thanks. I kept reading more. Is this a correct way to think of it?

Mortgage balance: 250k (3%)
Home sale price: 500k
Home purchase price: 750k (250k down)
Mortgage balance: 500k (3%)

Or would the bottom line be:
Mortgage balance:
250k (3%)
250k (7%)


I would assume the latter. Why would they want to loan you more money at a lower interest rate than what today’s rates would be?

If you weren’t selling and just wanted to take out a 2nd mortgage against some of that $250k in equity, the lender doing the 2nd mortgage isn’t going to give you a 3% rate just because thats the rate on your 1st mortgage. You’ll have a 3% rate on your primary mortgage and 7% on the 2nd mortgage
