Jonathan,
I worked for Wells for 13 years, you are not doing a Fannie Homestyles loan. Your doing the loan under Freddie's Construction and Renovation program. What I learned when I left Wells is that when you originate loans for Wells they almost brain wash you into thinking they offer things other lenders can't, when in reality they sell the exact same products but have creative names for them.
I think Wells is a great company, although I am much ahppier where I am now than I was when I left Wells. But each to their own.

Andrew, if we sell it to Freddie then great (we are typically a Freddie shop), but under our HOMESTYLE guidelines we allow multi-unit investor
Sometime it sucks to work for a bank and sometime it doesn't. If you are in the reno business, then there is clearly one bank who offers more variety than the rest.

Our guidelines for the Homestyle allow it.

Jonathan it is not a homestyle loan!
Read page 3 eligible properties!
"One unit second homes or investment properties are permitted.
That is a link directly to Fannie Mae, not my website!

I guess we do, I am looking at our guidelines right now and multi-unit investor is allowed. I'd hope so, I have an approval on one as we type.

Brad,
You need to review your homestyles guidelines. Investors are only allowed on Single Family Homes. Unless you work with a different Fannie Mae than everyone else!

I do, all 50 states. Great product, available to investors and owner occupants. Multi family is fine. I am doing quite a few "income properties" where owner occupants are expanding their current residence from a one unit to a two unit to generate some additional income to help cover the mortgage.
