The owner of that bond is not the bank, it's some guy in china who wants all the money that his bond is worth. You will actually not be able to sell (transfer title) to new ownership till the previous mortgage holder is paid in full, so transferring the remaining mortgage balance to a new subject property is only shifting the debt...you still owe that bank the remaining balance. It also wont work because your new purchase loan (best case scenario 97% LTV),of lets say 194K is secured by a home worth 200K...if you were to transfer a balance of even 10K that would bring the loan amount greater than the property securing it. Even if you only transferred a measly 2K to the new loan...a loan amount of 196K violates the guidelines restricting loan amounts to exceed our 97% FHA loan. Use the down paymenmt you were gonna use, and pay off the remaining balance if possible then get a high LTV purchase loan via FHA to purchase the new home.

If in fact you clear more than your payoff and all closing cost you can use those monies for a down payment on the new home. FHA home loans only require a 3.5% down payment and the seller can pay up to 6% of your closing cost.

When you sell the townhouse, you have to pay off the mortgage on the townhouse. You should talk to your realtor and/or mortgage rep about this. Good luck. No, you can’t transfer anything.

You then have to apply for an entirely new mortgage for the new home. No. Your current Finance must be paid in full so that ownership passes to the buyer and his lender.
