Same day closing mortgage allows you to sell your property and at the same time use the money from the sale to buy another property so you get a new home instantly. In theory, it’s a good thing. You don’t have to wait for days before you can move in to your home, your money from the sale will not be used for unnecessary things, and only one process will be done to accomplish the selling of old property and buying new property. It’s a very convenient process. But that seems to be the only up-side to this arrangement.
Many experts, including lawyers and seasoned mortgage brokers, do not recommend same day closing of your mortgage. Here are some of the reasons:
- The timing is crucial – If the person buying your house does not get the money available on his account on time, the lawyer may also not have enough time to close the sale of your property. This will then result to you not being able to use that money to fund the new property you wish to buy. The seller of the new property can see this as a breach of trust and could pull back from the deal altogether.
- You will need to vacate your property without any guarantee that you have a new place to move into – this can happen sale has been finalized on your property but the property you want to buy still has some problems. You could be left without a home for some time.
