Lenders that understand HouseHacking Strategy

Ursula Leake
Posted Aug 14 2022, 22:01

I was wondering if anyone had any lender recommendations when it comes to househacking. I’m looking to buy my second househack and wanted to connect with a lender that understands the strategy where I shouldn’t run into any issues qualifying for 3-5% loan. Lender Must lend in Maryland!

Unfortunately rent by the room can’t be used to offset the mortgage per Fannie and Freddie and guidelines regardless of lender, only a true multi family can be used to offset the mortgage payment.

"Househacking" means different things to different people. Do you intend to live in the home and rent out rooms? Or use the home as your Primary while you fix it up, and then move out and rent the whole house?

@Chris Winslow

Whoops looks like I am in the wrong forum... Zack probably won't be able to help too much in Maryland but good luck still!
