House Hack then Single Family Homes

[Kiara Stoner]

Hi! Looking to get into house hacking with a duplex or quad (I'll call this the first mortgage). When it comes time to purchase a single family home without house hacking (second mortgage), how does the first mortgage impact the DTI ratio and ability to afford the second mortgage? Can anyone share their experience? If we opt to purchase a second house hack instead of a single family home, would it be the same?
