🏡 How can I bridge my mobile home debt gap to buy a house?

Finn

This calculator is a great tool for anyone trying to buy a house while underwater on their current property, like a mobile home. It clearly illustrates how financing your negative equity creates a new monthly payment that eats into your debt-to-income ratio, drastically reducing the mortgage amount you can qualify for. Keep in mind that the tool's recommendation to pay the gap upfront assumes you actually have the cash on hand to do so; if you don't, you'll need to weigh whether to accept the lower home buying budget or delay your purchase until you've saved more.
