So?
I don’t see what’s wrong.
Lender have their good guidelines for their own reasons.
It makes senses to me. If you live too far from you rental you can’t manage it or properly supervise the property manager. Therefore you are a higher risk.

May 27, 2009 at 6:52 AM #406388EconProfParticipantIt is hellishly difficult to manage a rental property from a distant state, so their rule makes sense.
You don’t say whether the current loan is at an owner-occupied rate or an investor (non-occupied) rate. I am finding a HUGE difference in the two, so she may be better off staying with the current loan anyway.May 27, 2009 at 6:52 AM #406841EconProfParticipantIt is hellishly difficult to manage a rental property from a distant state, so their rule makes sense.

Although the OP was cirting a case from Wisconsin, the lender guideline was stated to be 100 miles.
100 miles is not really that far. Seems like a strict guideline. We’ve owned rental property for nearly a decade and currently live about 130 miles from it.
I guess the underwriters can cite any rule they want in order to reduce apparent risk. The funny thing is that there is likely significantly less risk in financing a 75% LTV for an out of state owner than almost any owner-occupied loan funded from 2004-2007.
