My co-owner would like to buy me out of my share of the mortgage. We both put in an equal amount of money into the house when buying it. We've also made equal mortgage payments. We will not be using a broker. We will get the house appraised, and then he will refinance accordingly.
What should I expect to receive when selling my half to him? Do I get the (appraised amount minus the balance of the mortgage) divided by 2...half of the equity. Or do I take into account broker fees & closing costs he will pay later when he sells the house?
Thanks in advance.
