Hello BP:I have an interesting situation.8 years ago, a residential property was purchased by my client and converted to a bed & breakfast and has been functioning as one since.Client now wants to sell, and, due to the fact that good records weren't maintained, it's being sold/marketed as a residential property.Someone I work with in REI with quite a bit of mortgage lending background with underwriters advised me that whoever buys the home will likely have a very difficult time getting the deal done with a conventional mortgage, because during the due dilligence phase, the lender will find that the property has been running as a bed and breakfast, and therefore will shy away from it... even if the stated intention is to use it as a primary residence.Can anyone with background on how the risk factors of these deals are considered and underwritten, or knowledge of common underwriting practices shed some light on this?

The area I am in is currently undergoing a "revitalization" which is super hopeful for an investor so I'd like to jump in sooner rather than later, or even make connections with others who may be interested in the area.I am currently in the education phase so I can make the best decisions possible in this new career.
