It's very similar to the Fannie Mae Homestyle program you discuss.

The biggest challenge seems to be finding lenders that offer these loan products which is where I’m looking for help from the community with recommended lenders that serve Texas.The Fannie Mae (or Freddie Mac) options are preferred over FHA purely because of the (perhaps perceived) limit on renovation funds that the FHA option provides.

If that country is part of the Hague Convention, a local official can handle the signing and attach an Apostille authenticating the document(s).

FHA will not use any short term rental data.Something else to think about - any reason why you wouldn't use a Fannie Mae loan here?

I am not able to take equity out of my condo because it is currently on the blacklist due to HOA fixing the roofing and a Fannie Mae rule stating, if more then 50% of the condos in that community are owned by investors, I may not be able to refi.

Question 1: I’m aware of Reno 203k loan and Fannie Mae home style construction loan.

 @Molly Arnott Hi!

Additionally, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will sometimes temporarily suspend the income cap on their HomeReady and HomePossible programs, which allow purchases with 3% down.

GSE Reno Loan as in like a FHA203(k) or Fannie Mae Homestyle Renovation?

I can offer both conventional (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac) and government (FHA, VA, USDA) options to help make it happen!
