However, as I mentioned in my original post, my immediate goal is to move out of our current townhouse into a larger single-family home that better suits my family’s needs (we have a baby and a big dog).

They originally wanted to phase out STRs with deed transfer, but the complexity and lawsuit risk of that verbiage had them change to this. 

This is what got Dave Ramsey in trouble years ago and that's why he preaches financial advice the way he does.Back to the original topic.

Depending on the lender (bank or alt. lender) you have to look at origination fees....points, doc prep, interest rate, frequency draws are allowed/min. draw amount allowed per request, interest payments vs. interest reserve & whether interest reserve is capitalized to fully understand the true cash requirements.

And the ones that were originally built have been renovated to become a SFH.

Improved the property from its original state What was the outcome?

Buy strategically, and if you do it right you may be able to get that 2nd one quicker than you originally thought and sit in a better position than you do as of today.
