Better get the details on the city loan too. You may not need to pay them off… Read the paper work with each FIRST.

My wife’s sister just passed and my wife will get the old homestead which has been made into a duplex. The upper gets $400 a month and I’m sure the lower could get $600 a month easily. The problem- home equity loan of about $23k (going to lawyer next week for details) and the city has a recently gotten rental rehab loan for $25k, which they want back now.
House appraised for $100k within the past year(city rehab).
How do we get the $ to pay these off and keep the home? All I can think of right now is a 65% ltv, then in a couple years, when my financial position is better, go for a regular loan.
What am I missing or what else could/should I do?
Thanx, Len

Take a close look at that rehab loan. I’m in Ohio and the one’s I’ve seen are canceled upon the death of the borrower.
