Lender will Provide the Form Type on the Order. And then perhaps a Re-Confirm of the form-type ONCE they recognize the style/design.
A man actually gets to dictate construction to a woman? Hmm...how does that work?
Fannie and Freddie loan on barndominiums on the 1004. Try to have at least two barndominium sales. I can usually find three within 30 miles, sometimes not so far. I am not impressed with most barndominiums and consider them a fad. They are not cheaper than a regular home in many cases. Typically, the whole metal building is finished out, but sometimes it is just half.
I don't think I've heard of any that are more costly than stick homes. I do see an occasional one by Morton Buildings that is more costly than others. I do not like the construction of Morton. They dig a hole 4-6' deep, then nail 3 treat boards together offset with nails sticking out and level these and backfill with concrete. The remainder of the frame is 3 boards nailed together that are not treated but above ground. Morton is about the same as a far superior heavy red iron building. So my favorite is a lighter gauge of steel, locally we call it "black iron" and I want the one with a straight sidewall, not the slanted (tapered) ladder trusses. The insulation is solid blown on, the interior is sheetrock and often the living space is half or less of the SF. The one is a tapered truss leg called "black iron" locally, and the other is red iron construction
