The size of the house is 3500 sqft, single story, and only a 4/3, and rather small at that BR/BA count for the neighborhood. 

But it will likely take you A LOT of trial and error and multiple email threads with their team to get everything set up the way you want.

You'll have all amortization options, but the most common will be 30 year fixed and that's generally the recommended one. 

If the lender is licensed in the state you're buying in, then they can do the loan.
