Need some guidance.
We currently own our home mortgage free and a new home that we signed on a few years ago is almost up to closing. What is the best way to secure funding for the new home if we can only get $300,000 in home equity from our current home? Our credit is bh good and husband makes around $100,000 year. We are planning to sell the new home shortly after closing.

It depends how much you need above the $300k in order to close on the new home.

Are you eligible for a 470k mortgage?

What do you mean, you signed on it a few YEARS ago and now it's about to close?

Did you put down a down payment? How did you go into a contract that's about to close without funding?

I'm so confused.

With new construction from a developer this is common. Signing a contract but closing doesn't happen until the house is built, often a couple of years later and you need to get the mortgage then.
That's probably also why op feels that selling it after closing will bring in good profit as op signed on a couple of years agos pricing and prices have skyrocketed and the house will sell for significantly more than 770 now

I'm not sure the technicalities but could you flip it without you actually closing on it?

Also, keep in mind that if you sell and payoff the mortgage on the new property before owning the property for 6 months the broker may be penalized by the lender.
