@Caleb Jordan HomeStyle is a renovation loan, it’s the only one on conventional market, delayed financing is a different program 

I was looking on LendingTree.com, and came across their affiliate program.

Are there other programs out there she should be looking into?

If I'm not prepared to spend that type of money, the only other option is to do business with them.

Just off the top of my head, you should be prepared to answer the following questions:   Type of business entity?

Even if the appraiser were to make a mistake and use a sfh, the underwriters would reject the appraisal.When there are no comps of multis, you need to be prepared for appraisal problems.

Would love any advice on what the market is like and how we should prepare.

This year we have sold 150 homes across CONUS and rented all of them to military members by using the base housing partnership program.

But keep in mind in both cases, these guru make most of their money selling their training programs (Grant selling sales training and Dave selling financial responsibility). 

As far as running their background, there are a couple international programs that can do it, but I'd rather just verify visa, proof of income, and verify with the school or with their employer.
