Imagine finding a beautiful home that comes with an extra piece of land next door. Perhaps the additional lot provides more privacy, a larger backyard, or room for future improvements.
While this may sound like an attractive bonus, purchasing a home that includes multiple parcels can introduce mortgage questions that buyers might not expect.
A newly installed roof, upgraded windows, or modern heating system can make a home more attractive to buyers. However, what happens when the seller is still making payments on those improvements?
A home can look perfect during a showing, but certain features of the property may create questions when it comes time to secure a mortgage. One situation buyers may not anticipate is purchasing a home that shares a septic system with another property.
