Thanks for the colleague request.The concept of TDR is fairly simple and straightforward.

Our top return property is far better than our average return property.I do not get to make the rules (and there are many rules/regulations that I do not like), but the rules have not prevented me from making good profits in CA real estate. 

Condos are less expensive to buy, but you have condo fees and special assessments and condo rules.

Just make sure to look into the HOA’s financials, rules, and rental policies before buying.

I have successfully defended multiple clients in this situation.Once again: Don is claiming his deduction correctly, and I am breaking the rules.

Just how important is this “rule”.  

So is it a matter or reaching out to lenders saying I'm willing and able to act as a broker and ask for their terms/rules?

My dad and I (both with access to VA loans) are about to get into the multifam game and how we proceed is really going to depend on the true occupancy rules for the VA and our lender.

Asking in the correct forum will get a better response.Read the RULES!

Ive never heard of a loan mod being required for foreclosure as a blanket rule.
