@Luke H.If the buyer is living in the property now it’s a consumer loan compared to a loan to an investor and will kick in a lot more regulationsYou can’t do a balloon less than 5 years, need to have it serviced by a licensed servicer, will have to go by interest rate usury laws, collect escrow…..I would not loan on this property to an owner occupant
