The loan officer you have spoken with seems to not have a good understanding of the regulations regarding the number of mortgages one can have and still qualify for a new loan; given all other guidelines are meet. SOME lenders do restrict you to four total home loans, but this is a guideline that is specific to that lender. Fannie Mae allows individuals to have up to 10 mortgages, however, the guidelines for approval on mortgages 5 – 10. To obtain mortgage 5 – 10, one must meet the guidelines below:
- 25% Down on Single Family homes & 30% on multi family
- Credit score of 720 or above
- No late mortgage payments within 12 months
- No BK or Foreclosure in 7 years
- Two Years Tax Returns Showing all rental properties
- 6 month of PITI reserves
However, if you use non-GSE financing options you would be able to secure as many mortgagees as you are able to afford/qualify for, but these options are traditionally at less favorable terms when compared to GSE loans.
Thank you Mario, Any sugestions on who we might go to for this kind of loan?
Thanks Again:
@ralph.collins yes I do. What state or states are you looking to access funding options for? Feel free to email me directly at mingraffia@newpennfinancial.com too.

Or is that possible.
