Conventional loan on a rental with structural damage?

[Ian K.]

Hello,

I"m thinking about purchasing a home that has structural damage to the attached garaged.  Nothing that can't be fixed but it is possible that a conventional loan won't work.  I know about renovation loans which guarantee the property will be fixed and appease the underwriting.  My question is: are there conventional lenders that seem to have relaxed standards on conventional loans especially if the damage part to the home is not living space?  Thanks for your help.
