2nd home loan for STR

[Calvin Boyd]

My wife and I are looking for a second home loan to purchase a cabin in Broken bow, Oklahoma. We will use the house for short term rentals.

Her monthly income is $12,333 (1099) mine is $3,333 (W2). Credit scores both over 780. Our only other debt is our PITI payment on our primary residence $1,005 monthly. We have $130,000 cash $50,000 stocks and around $140,000 equity in our house.

Purchase price will be around $590,000. PITI will be around $3,800. Ideally we wouldn't want to go higher than 10% down if possible.

The first lender we talked too said it would be problematic to be approved because my wife is a nurse (5 years in the field) and she is currently doing travel nursing contracts and is 1099. 

If you are a lender and think you can help us, or if you know of a better way to get the financing for this deal aside from a 2nd home loan then feel free to reach out.

thanks.
