You can look into alternative refi options that don't weigh your income, dti, or credit as heavily.

I have used realeflow and It helps a lot, but I am also looking for better alternatives if there are any out there.

I own a trucking company and I cureently drive for the company.

My belief is that the collective intelligence of forums like this one is a great start to get alternate ideas, especially in real estate.I mean, I see discussions of 10% coc return in these forums.

A single man/women with no children who happens to also be a truck driver would be very interested in renting out a smaller property as they are away from home often.

They alternate Worcester and Burlington every other month.

If you have the down payment for two and can get the loan, that is a great alternative to multifamily rentals. 

My alternative plan would be to LTR it. 

I definitely wouldn't sell it if the alternative was to deploy the money out of state in a location that doesn't have upside appreciation potential. 

Tell them you will help them move their stuff into storage (you can pay for the truck out as an advance on their deposit) while they pay for the storage.
