thanks Melo. I have a question for anyone who has experience...for the S staying in the home and needing to refinance; when is the time to get the process started? I would hate to go forward with and spend the $ involved only to reconcile and lost the $ associated with a refinance. What it is the triggering point? W has told me she found a rental and intends to put a downpayment (don't know if she has yet). Plan to try and keep the home so that D7 isn't hit with so many drastic life changes. thanks in advance for any input
Poschan, I'm not a mortgage broker, but when I refinanced it was about a 2 week process once they had all the paperwork they need. I would recommending calling a few mortgage brokers, they can give you specific timelines, but I would say a month or less, even to buy a new house that needs inspections and appraisals took us a month.
