I will have no problem getting the mortgage afterwards, I just have some other projects rolling at the moment that tie up cash.Thanks!

Hi real estate friends,My wife and I recently bought our first home in Co springs area close to garden of the gods and other attractions in the area. to no surprise our interest rate is a whooping 7.1%, the main house has 4 - BD 2 B. our mortgage is $4009. the property we bought has an attached dwelling unit on the side of it, completely independent from the main unit we live in, we are currently renting it out for 2 years for a tenant for $1545, It has one bedroom one bath.My question is what are some ways to scale especially since in the current market (is kind of almost impossible)?

I am a private Monday lender and NMLS licensed ( not active) Mortgage banker so I know a little about this I started in private money in Oakland CA in 1987 and have done well over 3000 loans to various clients in 25 states and this is me personally not selling a system so others can do it..

It's possible to find cheaper options but make sure you evaluate the coverages offered.

As others mentioned, you're going to have a very hard time getting a loan when you're currently in default on any kind of mortgage, HML or otherwise.

Option 2 with second lender is, get an FHA loan at 3.5% and use the concession to buy discount points and bring a 6.2% interest rate down to a 5.4% permanent buy down, putting me at around $3,450.00 monthly PITI and also adding 8k to the top of the loan for mortgage insurance.

Covering a significant portion of my mortgage has been a great reward.Solution: My four levels of vetting have helped me find quality room-renters over the last 18 months.I think you already have the answers to your situation.

Only mortgages as debts which are covered by rents.

Have you tried to apply for conventional mortgage when you have a lot of rentals?

The mortgage interest rates are more favorable and so are the terms (no prepayment penalty, as little as 3% down payment for a first time homebuyer, etc).
