Can you qualify for a conventional loan?

Once an individual qualifies for housing assistance, they have to find their own rental that will accept the voucher.

The new version is creating a bottleneck and severely slowing down our qualifying time.  

You could then qualify the rent coming in and use a DSCR product to take your money back out.

As others have said with a DSCR lender you shouldn't have a problem qualifying.

Cooper) said that the mortgage is assumable (there is path that would allow me to remove spouse from mortgage and retain the current rate), but the process can take a while, is subject to fees, and they need to reevaluate my ability to qualify for the mortgage without my spouse.

To me, this is something you would just buy as a unique primary residence, the only issue would be if you needed the income to qualify.

If you can't qualify for a FNMA/FHLMC conventional investment property loan with a 30 YR fixed rate, look for a mortgage broker that will find you the best terms on a permanent DSCR based loan.

Here’s why:- unless you strategically reported your taxes as making 100% income and not reporting an entire loss on your schedule e - you will most likely not find a lender who will qualify you for a HELOC.
