Paul Winka Can I still get a qualifying loan in my situation?
14 July 2022 | 6 replies
Hi @Paul Winka, former underwriter here.Straight from the Fannie Mae Selling Guide:The following property types are not subject to these limitations, even if the borrower is personally obligated on a mortgage on the property:commercial real estate,multifamily property consisting of more than four units,ownership in a timeshare,ownership of a vacant lot (residential or commercial), orownership of a manufactured home on a leasehold estate not titled as real property (chattel lien on the home).Therefore, it would all depend on whether the properties you currently have are considered commercial real estate.A lender would have to take a look at the financing documents from the 15 commercial loans to see if they are truly considered commercial loans.Unfortunately, it is not a cut-and-dry answer but there certainly is a case to be made that those 15 would fall under the "commercial real estate" exemption.If you would like a referral to a lender, I would be more than happy to provide one.

Mary Jay Question ab dealing with a tenant
21 July 2022 | 11 replies
I had to repair a roof leak+stucco, which cost me 5K this month, plus the dry wall with some mold on it from the leak, which is another $500, so 6K this month total.The tenant kept saying that her AC bill is super high ($650 per month during summer, its  3 story house and the ac is only 2 years old), so I promised her I will buy her one portable ac unit, which is about $300-400Then the AC leaked and I had an ac guy come in and he said the repair will be about $850 (so that is in addition to 5.5K this month) The Ac guy also said the coil needs to be cleaned and the ac filter is filthy.
