what type of properties?

Break out single family/condo; then 2 units then 3-4 units all have different rules. 1-2 units is far easier to get approved verses 3-4 which have extra conditions to ensure that the whole project cash flows with market rents minus the one owner occupied unit. 3-4 units you need much larger down payment - as in no 3.5% downSecond home programs are for one unit types: SFR/condo/townhouse.Owner occupied means you live there and your insurance policy matches.
