Hi Mark! Unfortunately, I think this is more of a question for your accountant. You will want to be very careful about doing anything until you have obtained tax advice, and also have a separation agreement, so that everyone is clear on tax and family law implications. If... [ more ]

Thank you for your question.

Your other option would be a private mortgage of maybe... [ more ]
