Trouble financing a second house hack
I am currently house hacking a 4bd 2.5ba house which is going great. I purchased it with a 3% down conventional loan in March of 2019. I am about to hit my 1 year owner occupancy and want to purchase another property and repeat the process.
My lender basically told me I need to have a reasonable incentive to qualify for another low money down loan on a primary residence such as up-sizing, moving closer to work, etc. Otherwise it could be considered "taking advantage" of the 3% down loan I received.
Will all lenders be hesitant to qualify me for a low money down loan on a primary residence, or am I just dealing with a conservative lender?
