Now because you have conforming loan products that are sold on the secondary markets you don't see that, but it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. 

Again, you have to conform your real estate plan to your own individual goals and situation. 

This would be considered special purpose due to its lack of availability/conformity.

It was a Hail Mary attempt to get him to conform to the contract that he (not his LLC) signed.

With a "larger" (its all relative) your eggs aren't in one basket and you have segmented your liability without driving yourself crazy with one bank account and debit/credit cards for each property you own and the associated bookkeeping.Using conforming residential loans (which a legal entity is not eligible) can be a powerful tool. 

Would of course affect other things like better loan terms, potential conformity with zoning, etc. 

Again, we don't promise to fund within 24 hours and our HML close between 5-12 days and conforming 45-90. 

Bryan, I imagine a 10 unit property owner-financing is not too conforming.

One con of the suburbs is that they also don't allow non-conforming dwelling units since they have City compliance inspections, while Chicago does not. 

I actually just had to walk from a five unit in Lyons because one of the structures was non conforming, and the town was requiring it be torn down!
