        "text": "The primary risks include carrying two mortgage payments if your original home doesn't sell quickly, potential market fluctuations impacting your selling price, and unexpected repair costs on either property. If your current home takes longer to sell, you could face significant financial strain. A key preparation step is to have a robust financial buffer, typically 3-6 months of mortgage payments for both properties, and to thoroughly prepare your current home for sale to minimize its time on the market.",
