Waiting, Not sure what you are asking. Are you looking to buy a primary here OR refi your rental ??
With a rental you normally only get credit for 75% of rental income, and you may need to prove it with tax return schedule.
The low rates are for owner occupied properties only.
Any negative gets factored in to monthly debts.

Ralph, 3.5% down is still availble from FHA. Usually comes with 1.50% upfront fee and mortgage insurance for at least 5 years, regardless of LTV.
Similar to a subprime loan of a few years ago. Allows people with crappy credit and little money to buy a house, only difference is it’s full doc only, no stated income, and debt ratios in the low 30’s.

They have already determined that the best prediction of a future foreclosures is the % amount of a down payment, yet they continue with low down payment programs.
FNMA new program is different. I think 10% down is minimum.
Below $417K 5% down is possible if mortgage insurance is available.
