Episode Description from the Publisher

What if you could buy your next home before selling your current one? In this episode of Get Real with Eddie, Eddie Ruettiger and Nancy Vallee with EXIT Real Estate Specialists discuss a loan program that allows homeowners to access the equity in their current home and use it toward the purchase of their next home. If you've ever wondered: How can I buy before I sell? What if I don't want to make a contingent offer? How do I compete in today's market without selling first? Is there a way to use my home's equity for the down payment? This episode walks through how these equity-based loan programs work, who they may be a good fit for, and the pros and cons you should understand before moving forward. We also cover the biggest dilemma homeowners face when trying to coordinate buying and selling at the same time—and why having the right strategy and the right lending team can make all the difference. If you're planning to move in the next year, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
