I appreciate your point though and understand that banks have to follow Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac qualifications that insist I work for someone else. 

Account Closed if you are seeking a "conforming, conventional" loan (meaning Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) there are all sorts of rules that have been referenced in this post. 

. - 6 is the max number of financed properties you can have, and still do cash out, using Freddie Mac.

Steve has excellent reputation - I especially like his company because they use an electronic radon measurement device (chronograph) rather than the two hockey puck sensors. 

@Joe @Joe Krevinghaus  We just put an offer in on a Freddie Mac home that gave priority to first time/second time home buyers for the first 20 days, and offered over, but the bank accepted another offer.  

Local bank gave us a 30 yr fixed rate through Freddie Mac on our first duplex. 

There is also a cash out charge that FNMA/Freddi Mac cost.

Moral of the story, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac along with HUD loans are not sold down to street level investors.  

When you get a conventional mortgage, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac will 'buy' the mortgage from the bank that originates the mortgage.

Thinking that you are always transmitting across a dedicated land line from one device to another isn't an accurate description of faxing in 2016.
