Minimum loan amounts. They aren't going to deviate from that because he wants to put $50k down. They make no money on a $20k loan.

His best bet would be to go to closing and payoff the existing mortgage and have the seller hold a note for the $20k.

What I was talking about wouldn’t be a conforming GSE backed mortgage. It’s a “portfolio” loan (the bank continues to hold the loan, instead of trying to sell it). The rate may be a bit higher and the terms not so generous. But they’re made based on a person’s relationship with the bank(er) as much as anything else. Smaller loan amounts aren’t kicked out the way they’d be with a GSE (FNMA/FHLMC) product. I’ve used them for investment properties that I wouldn’t be able to finance with more traditional means.

And yes, I agree... owner financing might be another viable option. Don’t know til you ask.
