HELOC on your primary to get cash for down payment.

Or you can get a property > 50 miles away from your primary residence as a vacation home with 10% down. However, you can’t count rental income to qualify.

Got news that my house closing may have to be moved due to a delay in the sale of my home. My partner’s income was excluded in the DI ratio, but if it were included we’d be well under the % threshold and can be approved to close on time regardless of the sale of my house. However our mortgage company’s underwriting team has been painfully slow in confirming if her income qualifies. She’s been at her new job 1 month after a year off. Anyone with underwriting experience have insight?
