I’m not sure how the financing would work for such a move, being that I have 50k in student loans and 216k owed on the primary residence and work as a traveling nurse on a modest income.

But, I live in Los Angeles, and it feels like an FHA loan would be my only way to own here.

Lastly if you move out in a year because living in a multi wasn't working for your family but your worried about being over leveraged you can always pay down the loan then if conventional or refinance the loan if FHA to get the pmi off. 

I know that's simplistic, but it is true.By, the way, that CL post was from an Anchor Loans deal in Sherman Oaks back in 2017.

If you have the means to get a loan and house hack in your current situation, I'd think living in a college town and knowing that town and area well would give you a strategic advantage.

I have been reading a lot about DSCR loans.

It has been a couple days and have not seen an answer.If you own a rental property and you have a signed lease at the minimum of 1+ year, does that rental property mortgage (traditional investment loan) still count against your DTI?

This means low monthly payments for high cash flow, which translates to low interest rates and extended loan amortization.
