They're approved with Fannie Mae, so it's legit. 

Fannie Mae probably does the same thing.....so start googling and looking around and when you get serious and have a timeline for purchasing I would highly recommend engaging an agent down here who welcomes your business, there are plenty!

Average occupancy of around 90% for summer AND winter here, this March we'll hit 97% occupancy (one empty night) barring any cancellations this next week.I paid 147k for a 1 bedroom condo and only put 7% down as a Fannie Mae Homepath loan (no PMI) We've put about 7k into updates, improvements, remodeling, and furnishing.

Now, it's that the houses are completely on the verge of collapse, and listing agents are accepting retail non-203k non-FNMAHomeStyle offers with quick closes, and then getting upset that they aren't closing fast due to the condition of the collateral, because they've deluded themselves into thinking that "hot market" somehow means that the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice and Fannie Mae property standards (not FHA, Fannie Mae) have gone out the window.

(One of his reasons was that the Intervivio Trust is financeable in non-commercial transactions) The lawyer is right -- Fannie Mae will lend to a Revocable Living Trust. 

Side note: for homepath offers your agent uploads the offer to fannie mae's website itself.

Hi @Alex Silang,Fannie Mae will do 85% LTV for an owner occupied duplex.

That being said, you are certainly in luck because the VA loan is available to you in Hawaii and you may even have higher 0% borrowing limits because the borrowing cap is location specific and while most places have it set at the typically Fanny Mae conforming loan amount of 417k certain high value markets (like DC, NYC, HI etc) have a higher cap.

Look up the "delayed financing" guideline with Fannie Mae to see if you fall under the eligibility criteria.

Molly the BWI meetup is my favorite at the moment.
