I am purchasing a new home in another state. I submitted the offer contingent upon me selling my first home however, the sellers received another offer so I had to lift the contingency or lose the home.
I am now in a situation where I have not sold my first home and I need to know the best way to finance the new home without depleting all of my savings.
Should I pay off the First Mortgage and own that home free and clear? or should I keep the First Mortgage and put down 20% on the new home.
I really don’t want to carry two mortgages[angry2]
Thanks
Donna
