Why would the lender, who isn’t receiving payments let a property sit for 3 years and counting, deny the deed in lieu and not respond to short sale offers?

One more reason to go MFR, BTW.If you get a full 27.5-year ride with a great investment property, you toast your spouse with a glass of outstanding champagne and count your blessings.

Hello,In California on a rental sign can I put home many people cant live in my rental home I'm renting and if so does kids count as the number of people?

-If they cure default, that will count as income?

You can count on them doubling if you pay double. 

Not counting the down payment, the closing costs are still ~$8000, plus I have to pay buyer agent commission of about 3% which adds another $3600...It's just a little more than I had expected.

Don’t have a bed/bath count.

The mortgage broker said we could not count that rental income towards my DTI when i plan to move out and rent, as it would have to be done before i moved.

After finding a property that seemed perfect, my finance guy hit me with some unfortunate news: Turns out, lenders won’t count rental income against the mortgage if the owner lives in the guest house rather than than the main house of a zoned SFH.
