My sister is still figuring out how to pay for it. The money/tax man she spoke to advised to first sell her apartment before signing for a new house (get a clause that we could stay for a while). That way you don't have the cost of two houses, when you have that the bank assumes that will last a full year. The real estate agent who appraised her apartment advised to find a new place first and then put her apartment up for sale. The agent was sure her apartment will sell within two or three weeks, since it's considered a starter home.
I think she'll have to talk to her bank and see what they say. It's all things we're going to discuss during our vacation. Mind you, it's her money, so she not only decides how she wants to do it. And she ultimately decides which house she's going to buy.
