What Newport buyers get with Hometown
Condo-project expertise
For a Newport condo, the lender may need association documents in addition to your own application. Review project eligibility before assuming a particular loan is available.
East Row experience
If you're considering an East Row home, discuss its condition and any planned work with your inspector and lender. The property's eligibility depends on the loan program and appraisal.
Owner-occupied multi-units
An owner-occupied duplex or triplex can have different options from a rental you won't live in. Ask Lee about occupancy, down payment, reserves, and whether rental income can be considered.
