The buyout math
The three numbers, the Denver example, and four ways to pay: refinance, HELOC, assumption, trade assets after tax.
Why the low rate matters
Keeping a 3 percent loan instead of refinancing saves about $830 a month on $350,000.
Qualifying alone
What the lender counts, the three-year support rule, the honest test, the refinance deadline, the quitclaim myth.
After the decree
The deed, the release, insurance, taxes under IRC 1041, what to do if the numbers fail, and the worksheet.
