If you're doing a rate and term refinance, there's typically not a seasoning period but again it's common for lenders to require it be rented first.If you're doing a DSCR cash out refi, it may not need to be rented first but you're probably paying a higher rate.Your best option is to call a loan broker you trust and go through the options based on your current situation.

However, the fact that your tenant intends to pay $800 through the app while their rent is $1,200 raises questions, it’s worth clarifying whether they plan to pay the remaining $400 separately and how that affects both of you.Before signing up, consider reviewing the app’s terms, checking online reviews, and confirming how quickly payments are processed to your account.
