Dear Ms. Mortgage Maven, I work for the federal government. My wife and I bought our first house at the height of the market. Three months ago, after the birth of our first child, we bought another house for $600,000 that better accommodated our family. We are renting out the first house for $3,000/month with a rent-to-own agreement with the tenant.
