@Wade Wisner Generally speaking there are 2 main types of loans for investors: “Conventional” and “Portfolio”Conventional - I'll define these as loans that come from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (if you recognize those names).

If that is the case then they should be using the standard fannie mae docs especially if its owner occupied.

Does anyone have experience with a cash offer Fannie Mae situation where mold was discovered during the inspection process?

Leases will typically result in a lower monthly payment, but ownership - even financed - has significant benefits.Fannie Mae explicitly do not allow leased systems to be appraised as part of home value, but do explicitly allow the full value of owned systems to be appraised.With ownership you get the Federal tax credit of 30%, with leases you do not.With lease, a lien is put on the home as a guarantee.

Conventional fixed rate mortgage which was sold to Fannie Mae shortly after originating.

@Matt Mcnulty @Wei Jie Yang this product is somewhat similar to the Fannie Mae HomeStyle loan. 

Account ClosedAnother interesting development is that many of the lenders, especially agency lenders (Fannie Mae + Freddie Mac), are now not allowing short term rentals on the assets in which they lend.

I made a post yesterday about being able to qualify for Fannie Mae due to my commission only job. 

The range I have seen range from -2.5% to 11%. zillow 11%, Fannie Mae 7.9%, Freddie Mac 7%, Redfin 3%,  Realtor.com 2.9%, CoreLogic 2.5%. and Mortgage Bankers Association's forecast model projects a 2.5% decline.
