Isa townhome considered a multi-family dwelling for a home equity loan?

If a townhome contains more than one swelling unit (which generally means two kitchens and a separate entrance for the second unit) then it could be, but generally it would be looked at as a single family attached home.

Bob - no it wouldn't be

Multi family dwellings are two or more living units on one parcel... Townhouses are typically considered the same as a single family home. If the townhouse you are buying shares a common wall with another unit, but you're only buying one half.. then it's not a problem.

No... A standard town home is a single family property that shares common walls and spaces.
