Even worse, carrying two mortgages often pushes your Debt-to-Income (DTI) ratio too high to qualify for a new loan<sup><\/sup><sup><\/sup><sup><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"p-rc_d0c5597e5d06b9a9-65\">Enter the <strong>DTI Buster<\/strong> through the Flyhomes &#8220;Buy Before You Sell&#8221; program<sup><\/sup>.

They also can&#8217;t get their offer accepted because the seller refuses to wait for them to sell their current house.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The DTI Buster Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Approval:<\/strong> The family receives a Guaranteed Backup Contract from Flyhomes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lender Magic:<\/strong> Their lender sees the backup contract and <strong>excludes the $2,200 payment<\/strong> from their DTI calculation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Win:<\/strong> Now qualifying for the higher amount, they submit a <strong>non-contingent offer<\/strong> on the $750,000 home. The seller accepts it over other contingent offers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Move:<\/strong> They close on the new home and move in immediately.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Sale:<\/strong> They list their old home with their preferred agent. It sells for $510,000. They keep the extra $10,000 in profit (minus transaction costs). If it hadn&#8217;t sold within 180 days, Flyhomes would have purchased it at the guaranteed price.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 4-Step Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Get Approved:<\/strong> Receive your Guaranteed Backup Contract within 24 hours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Win the Home:<\/strong> Make a competitive, non-contingent offer and move into your new place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>List the Old Home:<\/strong> Market your old home at full value for up to 180 days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Finalize &amp; Profit:<\/strong> Sell at market value and keep any net profits from the sale.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"p-rc_d0c5597e5d06b9a9-84\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today\u2019s competitive real estate market, many homeowners face a frustrating &#8220;chicken and egg&#8221; problem: you need the equity from your current home to buy the next one, but you can\u2019t sell your current home until you know you have a place to go.
