Investment Property Before Personal a No Go? Lending experts HELP

[Randall Brooks]

So I've been talking to a lender for awhile trying to get my ducks in a row. And my lender pretty much informed me not to look into duplex and quads that I wouldn't have success going the FHA or Fannie Mae conventional strategy until after owning a single family home for several years.. I've never heard this on the BP community so if you can give me some advice or good lenders that work with duplex and quads. Thanks! Happy Investing!!
