Navigating DTI & Turning our Current House into an STR
Hello All and Thank you in advance!
We currently live in Hot Springs Arkansas and my wife just accepted a position in Jacksonville Florida. I bought two luxury STRs in the beginning of 2022 and they had fantastic revenue for a year and a half until one of my partners needed to get out and we sold them for a good profit in October 2023.
Are there lenders who will consider my past str track record when determining Debt-To-Income ratio in regards to turning my current house into an income producing property?
It would be ideal for us if we could buy another house in Jacksonville, (possibly do a house hack there), and keep this property as an investment property. It is currently on a conventional loan with over 20% equity. I was looking at the possibility of doing a FHA loan in Florida. I have 800 credit and can put down a nice amount.
Any and all advice will be much appreciated!

Have you looked into DSCR Loans - they are the current go-to for STRs and don't require any DTI, and are back pretty consistently at 20% down min.
Check out this recently published article on BP on this exact topic, hope it helps!
