DTI Issue. How to convince a bank to do a loan?
Can I convince banks/credit unions to use boarder income?
goals and story: I want to house hack a large house (5000sqft) on the beach (Bay Area,California).
I found a great place. I would move in part of it (1500sqft), and rent the rest out on airbnb (3500sqft).
The rents will easily pay for the mortgage and then some.
If I were to count the future rental income (even very conservatively), my DTI would be ~20%.
However, banks do not count STR income towards my DTI on the mortgage application (they count it as boarder income, aka $0). Since they only use my W2, my DTI is way too high (65%).
What kind of products/banks could be willing to do this?
Type of property: Single family home
Location of property: Bay Area, California
Purpose of financing: purchase
Type of financing sought: Any. APR <4.5%.
Current or prior ownership of real estate: own 1 house. currently on short term rental as well.
Occupancy: owner occupied (1500sqft) with short term rental for the remaining (3500sqft)
Value of property at present and/or your offer price: $4,000,000
Anticipated or actual appraisal issues: no
Current rents per month: $25k
Fair market rents per month: $30k
Down payment or equity: I have $1m in the bank to put towards downpayment. More saved for reserves.
Source of down payment funds: own funds
Income Source: Salaried/hourly W2. This would not be enough to qualify for the full mortgage (DTI would be through the roof).
FICO: Excellent. 800+
Credit issues: None.
