Seems like a lot of folks prefer SFH, but I bought a Townhouse because it seems like it is easier to maintain (HOA covers external, landscaping, and neighborhood amenities).

This discrepancy can strain property owners financially.I onboarded a customer and later found out he was way over the set furnishing budget.

Generally when I talk to my customers looking to buy a property each year FHA usually gets in the way with one or more of its overlays and restrictions.

You are the customer and if they can’t provide the type of time needed to get you set up then you don’t need that agent.

They offer interest-only loans, don't charge for appraisals unless the deal actually closes, and have great customer service (they actually close on time unlike some of the lenders my clients have chosen against my advice over the years who ask for my time for underwriting the day before closing).

They get paid to do it, and you could be the next customer. 

Everyone has different opinions on this and it really comes down to personal preference.

You can find some decent deals in Lawrence I just helped a customer close on a SFH last week.

They are both good; personal preference.  

As an investor, you'll need to wait until this period expires before your offer will be considered.Additionally, Freddie Mac may require proof of funds or a pre-approval letter with your offer, and they often prefer cash offers or conventional financing.
