looking at a 4 plex property and really liked it.

when i contacted my mortgage guy, he said that under the fanie mae guidelines i can not qualify for something like that.

he said "you have more than 4 under mortgage and they only allow single family or duplex, no fourplex properties".

i asked what's the other option besides paying cash, and he said.. "that's pretty much it, have to pay cash because i can't refinance it if your get it land contract".

what are my options?
