Updated 11 months ago,
Banks requested 15% down for 3-units. Is that a Fannie Mae voilation?
Hello!
I'm looking for guidance/advice.
I've applied for a conventional loan: 3 units, owner occupied, NJ, 5% down.
I have enough W2 income to cover the loan and additionally, there are two units rented already.
Several banks said I have to put a 15% downpayment.
Does it violate Fannie Mae guidelines? Are these guidelines enforceable? Or is it the bank's discretional decision to follow/not to follow FM guidelines?
Thanks for any insights/suggestions in advance,
