How do we go about setting this loan up?

A home price on the open market is set by what people are willing to pay for it.

@George DempsterBanks look at the guidelines set by fannie/freddie for their underwriting.From what I remember - I think Fannie/Freddie were okay with 660/680 credit scores for a conventional mortgage.You may want to connect with a lender to see how much you can qualify to borrow.

We were set to close initially on November 15th, but during attorney review i discovered the current leases end Feb 28th in one unit and April 30th in the other two.

So, you really only need to work with one agent and ask them to set you up on the MLS automated mailing list based on your criteria.

With the HomePossible loan, does the borrower need to occupy the home they’re purchasing for a set amount of time before renting it out (multi family home) ?

You at least need some kind of preapproval, say for a set %LTV, as with a standard loan preapproval.

We set a limit of two pets per home in the apartment complex I worked at, and we still saw excessive damage in many units.

I set aside $5,000 for my first investment.

I now set deadlines with payment penalties, and I know more about the remodel process so as to not be taken too easily moving forward.
