When you apply for a home loan we only look at the monthly payment and on student loans we only hit you with .50% of the payment or in some cases if it is deferred for 12 months we can ignore it all together depending on the program you choose, for example; FHA, Fannie Mae, Portfolio etc.Another trick is if the installment loan on a car/vehicle only has (10) months of payments remaining or less we can "Omit" it all together.

Even looking at the balanced rate (which I feel like is hard because the terms are different) along with the potential to have the monthly payment/fees covered, it feels like a cash out is a better option if we did want to keep this.Part of the current struggle is that the market was hit harder from the rate increase so sales are almost at a standstill and even with trying to sell the house, the rental market is doing substantially better because most military cannot afford to purchase in this area as the payments are over 6k/mo for buying vs 3-4k/mo for renting.Any advice is most appreciated!
