Second Mortgage with substantial downpayment, negative equity on first

[fivespot]

Hi,
I owe €275k on an Apartment with a sale value of approx €180 ie close to €100k Neg Equity.

I have through inheritance a sizable sum of €150k with which I wish to purchase a second property.

Is it likely I can get a Second Mortgage? Wishing to buy a place for €220 so about €70k needed, even though original place is in Negative?

Is this possible?

Moved from Mortgages and buying and selling homes to Property investment. Please post in the correct sub forum.

Have you looked at any alternatives to investing in a second property?

I am looking to move into the new property and rent out the first.

Of your total wealth what percentage of it will be in property?

If I was in your shoes I would sell the apt and use some of your money to pay off the neg eq. Then use whats left to buy the place for 220.
