Definitely talk to Ken Hogan at the Abilene Association of Realtors (I can send you his direct contact info if needed) - he knows more about local brokers than any person or any outside list could provide and will probably have additional suggestions for you on how to find a good broker with compatible goals.

I agree with @Scott Trench, I have been quoted 5-20% owner occupied for residential MF as long as it meets the self sufficiency criteria in MA.

A reasonably sufficient amount here is also a safety margin.4) What I can pay for the property initially. 1 - (2+3) = 4Has worked without fail for over 20 years for me  

What I would always offer to provide—and was always more than sufficient to prove myself—were:A copy of my previous tax return.

Keep in mind that even 2 bedrooms worth of bedding plus towels for 4 guests is more than what most washer/dryers can fit and clean sufficiently.

Your basic insurance policy with $300,000 in liability coverage should be sufficient in 99.999% of all lawsuits.5.

But, its intended to be a short term loan and doesn't require having sufficient income to qualify since its about the deal. 

This is just way too important and I couldn't find any other sites on the subject.Is this conversion to roth "record" sufficient/legal?

The FHA has something called a "self-sufficiency test" that is now killing many deals in my market. 

This is an interesting move by FHFA, but it should help 2-4 unit house hackers, especially if we can avoid the FHA 3-4 unit self sufficiency test!
