Owner occupy
Hi All,
My wife and I are currently trying to get a second property. We are currently in a single family owner occupy for just over five years and we refinanced a few months ago. Our plan is to buy another property w/ a conventional loan at 5% down (because we don't have enough for 20% down for an investment only property) and owner occupy it for at least a year while renting out our first house then renting out the second after the year is up. The problem comes in when I approached the brokerage (which we just refinanced though) to get financing through them for the second property, they told me they don't feel comfortable giving us a second loan because our refinance loan is not mature enough, they would like to see it matured for at least one year. We meet all the other requirements, excellent credit, 5% down $, 6mo reserve, ect ect... Is it just a matter of trying different lenders for our situation or am I going to get told the same thing from every lender out there? Any guidance/help would be grateful, Thanks! Duane
