I can understand not wanting to spend money before you've even gotten started and been able to prove this is a viable enterprise.

Does anyone have any clues, ideas, or tips to contacting such a large enterprise?

I would not let the bbb drive your thought process to much.. the idea of an advanced commitment fee for vanilla SFR type loans is just not done in the industry other than by companies that make a significant amount of their revenue with turn downs.. and then some ( not saying this company) but some are frankly just criminal enterprises and never make any loans.

Stacking farming enterprises is very beneficial all the way around.

Those enterprise back almost all the loans out there.

Knowingly financing the same, or any criminal enterprise, will have liability to you. 

I'd think about it like this: 1) I agree that it seems hard to fathom a situation where you don't split out the land and parcel as a separate enterprise.2) It doesn't sound like this is a charity case for you, it sounds like a business deal.

As many as 53 highly profitable businesses—from Exxon Mobil to AT&T to the recently relocated Tesla and Hewlett Packard Enterprise—choose to hang their hat in the Lone Star State, beating New York and California.This is no accident.

@Tammy Lewis there have been some recent podcasts discussing investing in Enterprise Zones for the tax advantages.
