It will be a hard stop to refinance or get a new purchase loan- will need to be current and out of forbearance before you get final approval

hey all, I started a purchase back before c.v. on a multifam and got a preliminary approval for financing, but now i am looking at 30-40% lower income for the next several months at least and at this point am just not wanting to acquire more units (4) especially with 2 of them empty.
