If it weren’t for the mortgage we’d definitely wanna live in the house we’re renovating, we’re putting quality second hand materials into it and restoring its original character as much as possible.

Has anybody run into difficulties when attempting to purchase a new home for their family (not an investment) due to maxing out conventional loans or because it has thrown off your debt to income ratio?

Sometimes a Seller will become concerned that you are attempting to flip the deal in escrow with those clauses, so you can also make it clear in the offer that the assignee or nominee will need to be an entity wherein you have ownership interest.

I have a few zoning maps that I have picked some very targeted areas I will be sending letters to and possibly door knocking however this will be my first attempt at either.
