Hi All,
need a little advice. My wife and I purchased our home in california last year with an fha loan. My wife was offered a new job in las vegas and she took it. We rented a house and I am still commuting at my job in California. I do have the ability to transfer when the time is right. So, once she took the new position we sold our home using a land contract, which im carrying for 5 years.
Now we are looking for a new home in Vegas. I have talked to maybe 20 loan officers, every single one saying something different.
I can do 10% down if needed to, maybe even 20%. I would prefer to get an FHA loan though. Now all the loan officers ive talked to are trying to treat the sale of the property as a rental property. With that being said, you need to have 25% equity or 2 years on taxes to use the rental income, which there is neither. So the problem is that without the "rental" income were at like 56% DTI. So ive been told regardless if i put 3-20% im still over my DTI
is this correct? Any other ways?
thanks
