He/She would have contacts for PMs that could be trusted.Lastly, your eyeballs can not be replaced by email or texting - - schedule time for an onsite visit and interview the Agent, PM prospects and to see some candidate properties.

By Commercial if they mean they will have to review it as a income producing properity, but you can still get it as a 30 year mortgage (in your name), then yeah... that does not matter, it is their internal paperwork.Figure out what they mean, and while you are waiting, visit other banks.
