I'm not sure how to reach out to you all for help so please forgive me if I get lots wrong, such as abbreviations you all use that I rarely understand.
PROBLEM: Buy Town-home for elderly mom w refi cash out, second home mortgage or Investment loan.
FACTS:
My Mom is 87, driving, banking, texting, computing, so you might say doing very well. She lived in a 3k sq ft house in a TX gated community when Dad died and the expenses became a bit too much so she moved into a 14x12 room in my brothers house in another TX gated community. She pays them a 3rd of expenses. We would have Mom share the cost of the mortgage.
My DH and I are retired - 63 years old and live in California in a house w a mortgage of $220k @ 3.75% and an est. value of $920k, so we have plenty of equity. Our assets are enough to cover expensives. Tempted to start taking my SS to pay Town-house. Credit scores in 800s, LVT says we could mortgage a $500k property.
PROPERTY TO BUY INFO:
$130k Townhouse in gated community that rents out for $1400. Property tax of $230/mth, HOA $143/mth, Ins.$40/mth, surrounding houses valued at $124k -204k-380k-400k.
WHICH MORTGAGE: with our current mortgage at $1140/mth and $40k downpayment, using comparison tools online...
Cash out refi = $253 more /mth @ 3.5%
Second Home Loan = $90K loan @ 3.75% = $417/mth more
Investment Property Loan = $90k loan @ 4.25% = $443/mth. Would have to claim Moms $ as rent but could write off visits, repairs and such.
Future plans would be to rent the house out as an investment property or retirement home.
Any suggestions on which would be our best bet or leave Mom at brothers were tensions are starting to rise? Clear as mud?
Many Thanks
