In today’s fast-paced, ever-changing real estate marketplace, moving homes without the immediate need to sell an existing residence provides an unmatched level of flexibility and strategic advantage to the process.
In an environment where the movement of interest rates and market dynamics is so erratic, the traditional process of buying and selling can be very intimidating. But the historical record is clear, it pays to invest in real estate. How? Well, since 1942, homeowners who have held their properties for a decade or more have never failed to realize gains on their investments in all but one period.
Despite unfavorable current interest rates and market conditions, opportunities to invest in a new home still exist. Intrinsic value and historical growth trends highlight that there are still considerable benefits to be achieved in the longer term. All in all, the best solutions to be traded are those with a good balance between low risk and high profitability.
One available solution is the NEO Power Buyer program, which allows you to make a strong cash offer for your new property even before you sell your existing one. It increases your bargaining position, of course, but it does so much more: it takes the uncertainty out of a contingent offer, making your proposal more attractive to sellers.
Here are a few more products and programs that could help you on your financial journey:
- Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC): Unlock the value trapped within your current home using a HELOC and secure the needed funds for down payments or home improvements to increase marketability. By using it, the only time the costs come into play is when the money is used, so it might be a wise preparatory step before the entrance into the market.
- Bridge Loans: Tailored to transition, bridge loans offer an amount equal to part of the value of the existing home as immediate cash to make it easy to purchase the new property without an urgent need to sell. No ongoing payments are required; what’s more, the fee structure often undercuts traditional loan costs, buying sellers some breathing room to sell at the optimal time.
- Buy and Hold Strategy: Keep your current house as a rental property, leveraging prospective rental income for qualifying to purchase your new house. This not only maintains your investment but also taps into potential rental market gains, offering yet another avenue of income. For those with financial flexibility, retention of the existing property as a long-term investment capitalizes on market growth, diversifying your investment portfolio.
- Proof of Pending Sale: Demonstrate that your current home is under contract – this can alleviate the need to cover two mortgages, easing the financial transition between properties.
Beyond the Sale: The Long-term Vision
Considering the long-term vision, converting your current home into a rental property presents another viable option. It can be a way of putting off the decision to sell in a potentially fluctuating market, as well as initiating an opportunity for ongoing passive income coupled with long-term asset appreciation.
