Depends on your mentality of being a landlord.

As @Chris Mason mentioned you will now have the full duplex counted against you and your taxes will be used (usually after 1.5 years - you'll be using the leases prior to that) to determine income. 

I only had money to buy a 1-bed condo at the time, and I had some mental issues to sort through and the SFH within my budget at the time were in areas that was far away from the hopsital I was attending regularly so in short, I bought the condo. 

So yes, you can ask.Your PA will determine the next steps though...are you in the inspection period, did you sign off on inspection etc....but I wouldn't back down w/o some solid answers. 

So on the one hand, betting only on appreciation is a gamble (and that's why I mentioned that you need to determine whether you can survive a market downturn) but on the other hand, you can use market and economic trends to get a certain "feeling" of where the market will be in the future.

DTI is an important factor when determining how much house you'll be able to afford.

That’s pretty well my mentality at the moment, stockpile the cash.

Each seems to have its own computer programs that determine the risk based on the location.  

We are trying to determine the best way to get financing and are somewhat lost.

It's almost impossible to forget to contact someone and determine if they want to renew or not.
