Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac won’t buy loans on buildings that operate like hotels, so those files never reach agency underwriting at all.
Buy a straight rental property and the loan can run on the property’s own income, sidestepping the client-concentration question almost entirely.
Sizes run from $300,000 to $30,000,000 across two wholesale channels, with leverage stepping down as the loan gets bigger.
Revocable trusts are close to a non-event for underwriting.
