House hacking can work with an FHA loan, as rental income from other units might help you qualify, but be sure to consult with a lender or mortgage broker to explore flexible options based on your unique situation.Good luck!

Each DSCR loan is separate and qualifies separately, so one doesn't necessarily affect the other except for the liquidity needed to close since you'll have multiple down payments/closing costs for each transaction.

Quote from @Mary Jay: Quote from @Jay Hurst: Quote from @Mary Jay: hi guys,so I have a lot of equity in one of my rentals but the interest rates are super low on it. so I dont want to do a cash out refinance on it because I dont want to lose the 3% interest rate on it.I want to get some cash out of it via Heloc or another vehicle,  so I could buy another rental, but its not my primary, so I cant get a HELOC on it from lots of banks....I think PenFed does helocs on rentals, but because I have more than 5 rentals, I dont qualify for their HELOC loan.IS there a bank that would give a HELOC/cash on a rental?

For the son to qualify for the $250k exclusion, I believe he would most likely need to meet the ownership and use test, meaning he needs to own and live in the home as his primary residence for at least two of the last five years before the sale.

Definitely get with a qualified tax professional on this.

I've received apps in the past where this was the exact situation only for the borrower to not qualify and be stuck.
