I live in a house that my parents and I own (all 3 of us are on the deed (TX)), but my parents are only listed on the mortgage, which is drawn from my account and I also pay all taxes and insurance. My parents would like to deed their interests in the house to me and let me finance the house in my own name. My credit is very good, and I owe on the house only half of what it's value is. What is the best way to do this to avoid heavy closing costs and fees? Do we have to go through a traditional closing or is there a simpler way?
hi cherylburnett!
welcome to forums!
while you refinance the loan, you will be liable for paying the closing costs. you cannot avoid the the closing costs and other related fees when you refinance the mortgage. you may ask your lender for a novation which is also a method to transfer the mortgage from one person to another. but in most cases, the lenders do not agree to this.
feel free to ask if you've further queries.
