Your name is still on the original loan, even though your name may be off titlenow, so that should Not have helped your DTI.I always discourage people from doing shady, mtg fraud related actions,  it barring you stating you Will sell, or have already sold, I’d explore putting the title back like it was, and carry on.

I own a duplex in Bend, house hacked it and it has worked well for me...but @karent is is right, it's a boom or bust town.

I'm a Mainer by marriage, not by blood.Third question - can any Maine agents reading this help me to figure out what towns in that area have the most sales?
