Your interest rate, on a fixed rate loan, should remain unchanged and your mortgage should not be called due.However you should still confirm that this is the case with your lender (and read your mortgage commitment) out of an abundance of caution and because some loans and programs do require a longer seasoning period.

Hi Scott,Scaling a real estate portfolio can be an exciting journey.

It could be helpful to you (lenders will want to see lease agreements) and it is good for the family member (they actually could do a program where them paying rent increases credit).
