House Hacking Refi Rate
Hey everyone! Looking to "house hack" at some point in the near future (recent grad stashing cash for now) to take advantage of a more favorable interest rate and pay less down, and had a question: Say I "hack" Property #1 for a year getting a primary residence interest rate, and move out after a year (and now rent out the entirety of Property #1) and repeat the process with a new property, Property #2, for which I get a primary residence interest rate as I intend to occupy it for a year. If interest rates go down in a year and I want to refi the loan on Property #1, will I still get the more advantageous primary residence interest rate since I did originally use the property as a primary residence, or will I have to refi into a loan with an investment property interest rate, since the entirety of the property would be rented out at the time of refi? Thanks a lot in advance!
