Are you grappling with the complexities of joint ownership and seeking a seamless solution? Selling doesn’t have to be the only option.
An equity buyout may be exactly what you need. Whether you’re navigating spousal separation, investment property co-ownership, or family arrangements, here’s the info you will need.
Eligibility:
Equity take outs are open to anyone with joint ownership, regardless of relationship. This could include co-investors, spousal buyout, and even family rearrangement on the mortgage/title.
Depending on how much equity we are taking out, we can look at it either as a refinance or a purchase. A purchase allows you to take out up to 95% of the current home’s value.
Documentation:
Standard qualification applies to all equity buyouts. For those looking at a spousal equity buy out a finalized separation agreement will also be required. The agreement must clearly outline each party’s financial obligation and how the interest in the property will be divided.
Other documents required include:
- Standard income documentation (employment letter, pay slips, income tax returns)
- Property information (Tax bill, appraisal, strata/condo documentation, appraisal)
- Other property: If you own a rental or secondary home all property information and income from the property will be required.
