fourplex mortgage limitation
looking at a 4 plex property and really liked it.
when i contacted my mortgage guy, he said that under the fanie mae guidelines i can not qualify for something like that.
he said "you have more than 4 under mortgage and they only allow single family or duplex, no fourplex properties".

what are my options?
