Eligibility:

You may qualify for a divorce buyout loan if:

1. You are going through a divorce and want to keep the marital home.

2. You have sufficient income to afford the new mortgage on your own.

3. You meet the lender’s credit score and debt-to-income (DTI) ratio requirements.

4. The home has enough equity to allow for a cash-out refinance or buyout loan.

Benefits of a Divorce Buyout Loan

1. Keeps you in your home without needing to sell.

2. Simplifies asset division with a clear financial settlement.

3. Avoids market uncertainty by eliminating the need to sell the home.

4. Provides financial independence by removing the ex-spouse from the mortgage.
