"Let me show you the comps, repair estimates, etc and explain to you how I get paid and why I can only offer you $xxx on your home."

I do not offer the contract "for sale", nor do I complete a double closing - that would defeat the "do not sale within xxx days/months/years" clause of the REO addendum.

While I responded as promptly as my schedule allowed with answers to the best of my knowledge, it slowly became clear to me that what I mistook for conscientiousness in the application process was actually an extreme sense of entitlement and compulsive need for control (red-flag #3).

, so we will likely be trying to move from our one bedroom apartment to an actual SFH in a year or less.Unfortunately, an average sized home in a mediocre to decent area by us can easily cost $500k or more, not to mention property taxes well over $10k/year.I just got off the phone with a credit union and got pre-approved for a loan for the investment property, however should I go to them for a mortgage on a second house in the future, they will not count any rental income until I've had that MFH for at least two years.My concern is that if I go ahead with the purchase of an investment MFH now, and next year I go for a mortgage on a SFH for our primary residence, we will only be approved for a mortgage of $XXX, whereas if I had never purchased that MFH, we would be approved for $YYY, where YYY is significantly higher than XXX.Depending on the exact purchase price, the mortgage on the MFH would likely only be for around $45k or so maximum, so with a correspondingly low monthly payment, I'm not sure if that's enough to really make a large difference in what I'd be approved for a year down the road, but I'd definitely like to know in advance rather than be surprised by it!
