(1)How to get a Mortgage for a New Build Condo Assignment?
(2) An assignment is a REAL ESTATE sales transaction where the original buyer of a property (the “assignor”) allows another buyer (the “assignee”) to take over the rights and obligations of the Agreement of Purchase and Sale by THE ORIGINAL BUYER (THE ASSIGNOR), before THE CLOSING on the property. The assignee is the one who ultimately CLOSES the deal with the BUILDER.
ASSIGNMENT IS LIKE SELLING THE CONTRACT TO ANOTHER BUYER. THIS IS COMMON TO PREBUILT CONDOS AND HOMES.
THE ASSIGNOR AND THE ASSIGNEE negotiate the terms of the Assignment Sale, such as the Assignment Purchase Price, Real Estate Deposit/s, and other costs.
It is important to note that the Builder will need to signoff on this Assignment Sale.
(3) DOCUMENTS NEEDED:
(4) VALUE USED…
TO the BUYER(Assignee):
Assignment Purchase Price:
Real Estate Deposit:
Mortgage Approved/Required:
Owed to the Builder
Owed to the Assignor
Other Costs
TO the Original Buyer (Assignor):
Original Purchase Price (with Builder)
Assignment Sale Price (with Assignee)
Profit as Capital Gains or INCOME
Anticipated Cash on Hand after Sale… Dont forget that the Builder Deposits given by the Assignor/Original Buyer is signed over to the Assignee… Real Estate Deposit given by the Assignee goes to the Assignor/Original Buyer…
VALUE USED… by the Lender…there are lenders will only use the lower of Original Purchase Price and Market Value… There are Lenders that use the lower of Assignment Purchase Price and Market Value…
It is so important to distinguish because what value we use affects how much we can borrow…
The LENDER WILL QUALIFY THE ASSIGNEE’S ABILITY TO AFFORD THE MORTGAGE, HIS OR HER CREDIT HISTORY AND AS MENTIONED BEFORE THE VALUE OF THE NEW BUILD CONDO.
Dealing with a Mortgage Agent that can explain and advise you on the financial components of an Assignment Sale helps minimize your financial stress. An experienced Mortgage Agent can help you get that mortgage that funds the deal.

Top 5 things to consider when selling your investment property
(1) Lifestyle Goals
Being a Landlord is real work -
Do you feel that you dont want to do this anymore
Take back your time to manage other things rather than your rental/s
(2) Retirement Planning
Should you keep the rental property for the Cashflow OR
Cash In and enjoy the equity… Increased Value and Paying Down Your Mortgage. You may
Use for Travel more, buy a boat OR really use it to cover your retirement Lifestyle.
(3) Taxes
50% of the property’s capital gain is subject to tax. It will be added to your taxable income for the year you sell the property.
Talk your tax accountant, as you may deduct the selling costs such as real estate commission, and legal fees. You may also deduct
renovation costs.
(4) Asset Allocation
You may have used Real Estate Investing to DIVERSIFY your Investment Portfolio. You have to re-evaluate
how selling your Investment property affects your overall Portfolio.
(5) Investing the Proceeds
After selling your Investment Property, how much do you want to reinvest,
how much do you want to set aside to spend immediately,
do you want to give some to your adult kids as Inheritance?
For the last one, you may want to consult with your Estate and Tax Lawyer.
Message me if you want an exit strategy on your Investment Property.
