1) 20% down will allow you to do a conventional investment loan, but you will have to either:- Qualify with the new payment + your current payment- Lease the property out, allowing the lender to use 75% of the monthly rent to offset the mortgage (confirm with a lender).2) You could also do a DSR 20% down loan, but the interest rate will be much higher than conforming rates.3) If less than 20% down, you could:- Do a 10% 2nd home loan as long as the new property is at least 50 miles from your current home or near a qualifying vacation spot (confirm with a lender).- Do a 5% down conventional mortgage if you plan to rent out current home and live in the new one for at least 12 months.

Matthew Drouin Good Cause Eviction Law Passed - 3 Things You Need To Know
30 December 2024 | 15 replies
Meaning you cannot just evict a tenant because their lease has expired.You will have to build sufficient evidence admissible in court and to the satisfaction of a judge to prove good cause to get a warrant of eviction.Many housing providers kept high risk tenants on month to month leases so that if the tenant stopped paying rent, you could simply give them a notice to vacate and recover possession of the rental unit that way.The reason for this methodology was because the HSTPA of 2019 passed in NYS made it extremely onerous and costly for housing providers to evict due to non payment.That method under good cause will be eliminated.So you can still keep tenants month to month but you will need to document the lease violation due to nonpayment rigorously.How many times and how late is “good” enough?
