Loans on properties with lease clause

[Ed Lopez]

Hello! I started listening to the Bigger Pockets podcast a couple of weeks ago and am loving it so far.  I'm hoping someone here maybe able to help me out with some unique financing advice.  My family and I are looking at purchasing a home in the mountains to live in full time for a year or so then use as a vacation rental.  The home is within a national park and on property which gets leased to to purchaser (for 99 years) by the non-profit group that actually owns the land.  They do this so they can maintain control over who is able to purchase there (it is a christian based organization).  In the lease agreement, there is a clause which the leasee affirms they are in fact christian (which we are).  Upon applying for financing, we were denied due to the fact that the lender does not lend when there are "religious affiliations" in the lease due to it making resell more difficult in the event of foreclosure.  We currently own a home which we have approximately 50K equity in.  We were looking at selling this home to use towards the purchase of the cabin which is only 150K.  We are well qualified to pay off the remainder in as little as 5-7 years if need be but most lenders balk when it comes to the lease term.  Any advice? Thanks- Ed

BTW. I just read the rules.  I am not looking for someone on the forums to loan to me directly.  Just looking for some advice on where to start looking.  Thanks.
