Try http://nreig.com/. Get rid of the knob and tube though.

Hi James,

I operate in Western Mass and use the following lenders, but on the commercial side.

Florence Savings Bank (you will need lead certificates though)

Country Bank

LUSO Federal Credit Union

Monson Savings Bank (have not used them yet, but have heard good things. They don't like Springfield though)
