Can I Roll An Fee For Breaking An Apartment Lease Into A Mortgage?
My wife and I are looking at putting an offer down on a house. To break our lease on our apartment it is about $2,500. Is it possible to get this to be included in the mortgage?

If you can’t afford to break this lease then you can’t afford to buy a house. Wait until your lease is up and you don’t have to pay to leave.
If you had a downpayment you could pay the lease break fee with it and then put less down on the house, but since you didn’t mention it, I have to assume you have no downpayment. It is rare to lend more than the property is worth, and if they did, you’d pay through the nose in interest because of their added risk.
good luck!

While we’re dabbling in the area of Can I Roll An Fee For Breaking An Apartment Lease Into A Mortgage?, Each homeowner has a unique set of circumstances that caused them to fall behind on their home loan, but generally the lenders consider divorce/separation, loss of income, death of spouse, co borrower or family member, illness, job relocation, military service to be acceptable reasons to consider a loan modification. A compelling hardship letter included in your application is a very important part of a successful application.
