@Stephanie P.
This MIGHT be true but I'm skeptical. I've reached out to nearly a hundred lenders and actually got a couple that are offering these terms but the rate was just high enough that it comes out to basically the same piti as FHA (5-5.5%). Currently waiting on another lender, based on Chicago and licensed in FL, that claims he has had these types of loans pre covid and will know next month if it is rereleasing. Otherwise, they are only open for him in Illinois for now.

@Nick Belsky
Mind if you share those FL specific laws?
Also, how close do you mean by other lenders? I am open to maybe 90 ltv.

You've taught me more in that 2 min read than I've learned speaking to at least 20 different lenders. Thank you very much, I recognize an expert when I see it 👍🏼

Are there still licensed portfolio lenders in FL that are experts in the residential multifamily zoned property space? What I mean by that is someone who can do:
-low down (<5%)
-low interest, 30 yr fixed
-no MI (ideally, spends on rate)
-loan size $300-550k
-not FHA! Nonconventional lending.
-owner occupant, 2-4 unit multifamily zoned
Just want to see if my expectations are realistic or not. Do they exist?? I have come into contact with 1 or 2 in other states but it seems less prominent here in FL?
Let me know what your thoughts are on this 🤷🏽♂️

Hey trying to do this and no luck still. Are you calling or emailing them typically? These firms don't usually post the individual's contact info from what I've seen...

@Frank McGovern
Hey I've reached out to a ton of brokers and still haven't found anyone that knows or can do this kind of financing. Have you personally used a loan such as this or know anyone who has?
