Can you even qualify for a mortgage on a new house while also having your existing mortgage?

Thanks for a phrase to google Debsi.

Davehalo:

Those I know have been foreclosed within the last 1-5 years. Thanks for the heads up I will keep checking with them to see how it's going.

I live in Ohio, home in me and spouse's name. The rental climate is comparable to what our mortgage/insurance/taxes total. The deals come in b/c of the amount of foreclosed and walk away properties that are available. Plenty of good deals on homes that are up to $80,000 cheaper than what we owe on our property.

I guess we're just thinking long term. Is it better to take a hit to our credit while still young and be guaranteed a home that's paid for outright. Or continue doing "the right" thing.

Manderly - Yes. We're not behind on our payments and have A1 credit (knock on wood) for now.

And do you have the income to support two mortgages?

For now we do. I'm asking about the options in that scenario.

I was under the impression "buy and bail" was considered mortgage fraud.

No matter how pretty a ribbon you put on it this still stinks, if you default on your first mortgage to get the other place, your greed becomes everyone elses problem. Don't sit there and think for one minute it would just be the bank's problem it is everybody's problem then. It is past on to the taxpayers and anyone who banks. All those extra fees we are paying is because of people who had no business moving to a different house.
I hope anyone who has used these tactics to get a house I hope the banks use every means possible to proscute them to the fullest extent of every law available to them. Yes then I will have to pay for the jail stay but at least justice to the rest of us who feel obligated to pay the bill we create will have been served.

oldraider -

No ribbons here. Read my op again. Your judgement is premature.

Chet - I forgot to thank you for responding. Your post was helpful.
