Our process is very thorough and includes removing old galvanized plumbing and replacing it with copper and PVC, replacing all new electrical wiring in conduit and breaker panels, all new HVAC including furnaces, condensers and water tanks.

While the same lending alternatives are available since the economic recovery gained traction in 2012 – Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, conduit lenders, banks and thrifts, and life insurance companies – each lender offers distinct advantages/disadvantages as it relates to loan structures, interest rates, closing costs, servicing, and their responses to the whims of the market.

It's give and take as to if the borrower can live with a certain part of a loan and the lender can.You get more options when you start getting into the commercial loans in the millions to tens of millions.The small balance stuff is mostly banks and some conduit lenders.
