What an exciting time! As long as you can meet the credit and income requirements, you can buy two houses at the same time.
While not impossible, you’ll need a sizable income and a great credit score to get two mortgages. First off, you’ll need enough in the bank to make two down payments. You’ll also need to qualify for two loans.
Your lenders will consider your debt-to-income ratio (DTI), which is the amount you owe a month versus how much you make, plus your credit score. Once you have one mortgage listed, you’ll need an impressive income and savings account to convince a second lender you’ll be able to pay for both.
However, if you can pull it off, go for it! Enjoy both of your new properties.
One important step in buying a new home is getting a
