We are interested in getting rid of our home in NJ. My married son is interested in buying it. It would be a good deal for them and be an easy transfer for us. All we would want is for the mortgage and any closing cost to be paid (we are not interested in making any money out of the deal).
The mortgage is currenly with Chase. Would the bank be willing to support the transfer of title from us to our son and daughter-in-law and, essentally, allow the mortgage to be transfered to them? We would even be willing to co-sign (or whatever) the mortgage.
If you have a concern about them qualifying for a loan and if you are going to purchase another home and your income is enough to support two mortgages, you should look into a sale with a land contract instead of a traditional mortgage.
Your current mortgage would have to be over 12 months old,as you signed a paper saying that you would occupy the home as a primary residence for 12 months.

Nope. Different Dad.
I'm sure they could get a mortgage. They both have good jobs. The amount owed on the house is about 60-70% of fair market value. I just want to do it as easily and efficiently as possible.
I guess the best way to proceed is for them to look for a mortgage?
One thought would be to put them on title with you, have them make the house payments directly to the lender (again, if it over the 12months seasoning of the loan) and in a year they could refinance.
