Ported Mortgage Questions

Hi All,


Mortgage is up for renewal soon and we currently have our house for sale. Looking at renewing on a one year fixed with an option to port over once we buy a new place which could be a month or two down the road after we sell (Seems like 120 days without facing penalties).

Questions:

1) Once we port to our new house which will be slightly higher than the balance of our current mortgage, do I need to put another downpayment

2) Assuming another down payment is needed, will I also get dinged on the mortgage insurance if its under 20% even though I already paid it on my current mortgage

Thanks

What city are you in? If it's a major city where properties sell fast, I would look at just renewing to an open mortgage.

Check your mortgage documents or with your lender as to the time frame you have to port the mortgage might be as low as 60 days.
