@Evan Pickvet-Hall Your agent might be referring to the fact that you might not be able to qualify for typical home mortgage programs as most lenders prefer SFRs to even 4 units (even though they are both classified as residential). 

This answer should continue to drive your choices as you invest.

If you do, and it doesn't specify that it's only if they find you the deal, then legally, you have no choice but to use them for the purchase.

I had the same issue, but my agent referred me.

I can refer you to a local branch manager if you'd like a contact, just send a PM.

It is my choice to have it that way, not the government's.My two cents.
