What to Do When You’re Underwater on Your Mortgage

Facing the challenge of selling a home where you owe more than it's worth? You're not alone. Being "underwater" or "upside down" on your mortgage can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't mean you're stuck. Tact Prudence, LLC, specializes in helping homeowners navigate these tricky situations and find solutions that work.

Understanding the Challenge: What Does "Underwater" Mean?

Being underwater on your mortgage simply means the current market value of your home is less than the remaining balance on your loan. This can happen due to various factors, including declining property values, economic downturns, or even over-leveraging when you initially purchased the property.

Don't Panic! A Solution Exists.

While being underwater presents unique hurdles, selling your home is still possible. Tact Prudence, LLC, can help you explore a powerful option:

Lease Purchase: Often the BEST Solution!

For many homeowners underwater on their mortgage, a lease purchase agreement offers the most advantageous path forward. This arrangement allows you to sell your home to Tact Prudence, LLC, on terms, often including a lease period. This can provide several benefits:

  • Time to Regain Equity: During the lease period, the market may improve, potentially increasing your home's value and lessening the gap between your loan balance and the market price.
  • Avoid Immediate Cash Outlay: A lease purchase minimizes or eliminates the need for you to bring cash to closing, which is often a significant hurdle when underwater.
  • Flexible Terms: Lease purchase agreements can be structured to meet your specific needs and financial situation.
  • Smooth Transition: You may be able to remain in your home during the lease period, providing a smooth transition.

Tact Prudence, LLC, can work with you to create a lease purchase agreement that works for everyone, offering a path to eventually selling your home for a price that covers your mortgage.
