They owe 90,000 with 670 monthly payment. the house is worth 160,000 as a 3-2 with 2 car garage. property is in great condition. the house they want will require a 60k down payment and they may still qualify with another mortgage but i cant guarentee it.I cant buy it from them because my DI ratio is maxed as i have 2 HELOCs on my rental properties along with 3 mortgages including my personal property. my wife is a stay at home mom and I own my own business, qualifying for a mortgage is insanely difficult with no W-2 income.
