Room rental on a weekly basis so I feel like that is not super reliable? correct me if I am wrongRental? If so, an analysis of the rents could support an adjustment.
Looks to me like those ceilings have been dropped....


It is set up as a boarding house but its just a normal colonial, the owners use it for employees that come in and out, several of the properties were appraising are set up the same way. As for eligibility I am unsure outside of the refi what they are doing with the loan if they would sell to fannie, keeping it in house, etc.Interesting... I wouldn't be surprised if that use is the result of functional issues. Honestly, what you described sounds like a boarding house, which is an ineligible property type. I would let the lender's underwriter know, because they might want to cancel.

Further, if you can't credibly develop the adjustment for functional utility, and you can't find sales with similar ceiling height issues to demonstrate marketability, it would also not meet the eligibility guidelines.

You need to find that out. You need to dig big time. What type of boarding house? What are typical tenants? Get income and expense reports from the owner.It is set up as a boarding house but its just a normal colonial, the owners use it for employees that come in and out, several of the properties were appraising are set up the same way.

Find what out? What's happening with the loan? The home is owned by a company and their employees can rent a room weekly so they are the typical tenant, we have info on the rental rates.You need to find that out. You need to dig big time.

Get a list of all leases. Get a copy of the leases. A half way house comes to mind but I don't know that.
It doesn't matter. You have to do your due diligence on setting the Scope of Work.
