Really good group of posts this week. I love the idea of portable mortgages. You borrow money, why can you not SUBSTITUTE one form of collateral for another?

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty I don't know all of the pros and cons, but I remember many years ago when our neighbor's husband passed away. She wanted to see her home but the rates were high and she couldn't see losing her low interest rate.
