Conventional 97 Loan
Hi everyone! I am just beginning my real estate investing journey and wanted to know more about the Conventional 97 Loan. I read about the advantages of a Conventional 97 Loan vs an FHA, but I was wondering if I could use this loan on a multi-family property (2, 3, 4 units).
I read online that there were loan limits for 2-, 3-, and 4-unit homes but I understood that I could still use the Conventional 97 loan to put at least 3% down on the property. My lender said I could not use it on multi-families. Is that true?
I would like to know if with a FICO score above 775 if I am better off with an FHA or a Conventional 97...?

I just got a pop-up from biggerpockets.com. I like that my 5,000th post was about one of my favorite 2-4 unit loan programs. :)
