Lenders for Chicago 2-3 Flat (Owner Occupy)

Dea Boskovich

Posted

Hi there,

I'm looking for recommendations for lenders for a 2 or 3 flat in Chicago. I will be owner occupying. I definitely want a lender who can do 5% down, and I'd prefer one who is knowledgeable about the various down payment grant programs. 

Thanks for the advice!
