I have a multi-family building under contract that was in a competing offer situation. The vendor is facing a 56K payout penalty on their mortgage based on the difference between current rates and the higher mortgage rate so I offered to assume the mortgage instead of raising my price.
She took my offer over another offer with no assumption.
Since I will effectively pay the 56 K higher interest cost, can I write off the difference between the rate I would have paid and the rate I am now getting from her?
I will also lose out on a lower proportion of mortgage payment going towards the principal.
Input/thoughts appreciated!
