Hey Tim,Sounds like your lender is underwriting this as a multifamily deal instead of two separate single-family townhomes, which is probably why they’re pushing for duplex comps.

A good broker should be able to tell you a range of rates given specific criteria if you can tell them what kind of deals you are exactly looking at (ex. in central Boston, 10-20 unit, 90%+ occupancy, 30% down).

.📜 Know the rules – No "deal-making" in the forums (that means no advertising, pitching services, or looking for partners).

have you closed some deals?

Her mother is willing to (co-sign) and has excellent credit and debt to income ratio that will more than allow but I’m not sure the best way to structure this for the house to still be in our name?  

I have a strong background in sales and business development, with years of experience driving revenue growth, building high-performing teams, and closing deals.

I think I will be a good Deal finder if that kind of help is needed. 

We will be in touch as I continue to network and come across deals. 

We didn’t find a joint investment, but I found an off-market deal and invested with my dad separately.

The deal doesn't work as well with higher interest rates.
