I typically allow my tenants to rescind the 30-day notice as long as they are up with their payments and are not violating any rules. 

VA loans typically require no down payment and have competitive interest rates.

Personally, I hate cash for keys and I can hardly think of a reason that I would do it - BUT I am in a state where it's pretty simple to get non-paying bums gone.

You also have to realize that even if you are not using the entire heloc limit "Some" underwriters still calculate the Maximum payment into consideration.There are some ways to pull money out of a Heloc and deposit it into a savings/checking account prior to application to satisfy the PITI reserve requirements.

I have no fears in getting a bank approval, and it down payment is not an issue either.

Are you looking to find Non-QMs loans or Hard money to purchase your next home to live in? 

@Tracy ScottLike @Wale Lawal alluded to ... the cost to buy a house-hacking property here in Colorado (or anywhere) are really no different than the costs of buying any property, regardless of your use.Upfront-- You've got down payment and closing costs (1-3% of loan amount). -- Inspection (maybe $500) and appraisal ($500-$1,000 depending on market) -- Any furnishings, if you plan to furnish it.

My fiancé and I make about 10k a month and the new mortgage payment estimates are between 4-5k.

Im not talking about loan product knowledge or non QM programs, I mean above and beyond all that? 

Need basic service as in payment collection, escrow collection, monthly statements and 1098s at the end of the year.
