Hey Patricia, 

Since you are moving forward with the purchase my recommendation is to make sure you have money stashed aside for a rainy day, in other words make sure you have a reserve on hand. Also as @Samuel Eddinger mentioned, if you are in the for the long haul and not planning to sell it in the near future, things will work out. Nothing to panic over, just think long terms with your decisions and it makes like MUCH easier. Good luck on this one!

Hey Patricia,

Assuming you have the funds for another down payment I would simply go speak with your lender and tell them that you are planning to purchase another property. They will be able to give you the best answer to your question and what next steps are. If you start running into issues with DTI then you may want to consider going another route such as a DSCR loan which your lender may offer as well. Either way, if you have the money, it can definitely be done. Good luck on the next one!

Hi there BP Community!

I've been following BP for a few years now - reading through forums, books, and listening to endless podcasts. 

Now I'm a new father and at the point in life where I'd like to get more active in my market with the goal of acquiring small multifamily (2-4 unit) properties. I have some experience managing rentals/landlording, with 2 single family rentals of my own as well as my fiancé's duplex in which we currently live on one side and rent the other. 

Just wanted to put myself out there and hopefully make some connections. Also, would love to hear of any recent successes people are having both in the CT markets and beyond. 

Thanks!
Nick
