Yeah, it’s possible.
Are you planning to rent the first house?
If so, get it leased up and then show the lender that the rent services that mortgage.
If it’s self servicing they shouldn’t hold the debt against you when calculating DTI for the new purchase.
Definitely possible. If you have a high income & low debt, you can get approved without the bank underwriting rental income. I did it this year with a combine income of $325+. The first house is an investment property now but the bank didn’t bother with grabbing the rental numbers to approve & fund the loan.

It is totally possible. Without renting out either home. I’ve done it. But I’d say for the second/vacation home go with a small local bank, because Freddie/Fannie won’t subsidize the loan like the gov’t will for a first home that’s your primary residence. Though there are ways around that. Depends on your risk tolerance.
I currently Airbnb the first home that covers the mortgage but my lender said I need a lease contract for it to be counted. Is this true?
If you can show profit on your taxes, that will usually help.

Yes definitely possible. I’m a lender and can help look at numbers. I’ll dm you.
