I am in my late sixties and find myself in a bit of a financial predicament
I have my own home (Mortgage Free) and three rental properties
Rented Property One - Value €550 - Income €3k pm
Rented Property Two - Value €70 - Income €750 pm
Rented Property Three - Value €80k - Income 800 pm (Mortgage free)
The first two rented properties are attached to an interest only mortgage, currently 1.5%. the Mtg is €650k and repayments are just €820 pm
The difficulty is that the Interest only five year term ends next year (Summer 2013) and payments jump very high to approx €2,500 per month plus interest so using the current interest only figure, it is likely that the monthly repayments would be €3320 pm (Capital and interest payable over a 20 year term). I have looked at the figures and just cant see how I will be able to make the monthly repayments taking expenses into account.
My only other income is my state pension.
I would appreciate if anyone had any advice on the following questions
Is there any way that the bank would consider stretching out the interest only term in the hope that I can kick the can down the road a little bit when property prices increase so that I can pay them back and possibly have a little lump sum out of the sale of the two rental properties? Presumably my age (68) will not be favourable here?
How I should best approach the situation? I am afraid that if I go to the banks seeking an extension of the interest only they will just move to take the two properties off me?
If the sale of the two properties doesnt cover the mortgage that they are tied to, will I have to carry the debt if they go to take them or how will that work?
