They first asked me to be on a committee (immediately say "yes", then figure out how to do it).

This is done by the legislative committees which I believe get filtered or biased information some times.

The aide told FactCheck.org that the amendment limiting the labeling requirements to new homes only was brought before the House Rules Committee just after 3 a.m. on the day members of the House voted on the bill.

We have a committee with folks with years of experience from various perspectives (deal, legal, banking, etc.) that will review deals before they're presented our our portal.  

LENR (Cold Fusion) is getting an official mention here, and this committee is “directing” the US Secretary of Defense to prepare a full briefing to the committee of the current status of LENR in the United States.

They learned from the last savings and loan crisis of the 90's and do not want to repeat.If you have a large quantity of money at a local bank they might push it to a seven year term because of the relationship but it will be a committee call.

I know because I was chairman of the municipal rehabilitation and redevlopment committee in my community.

then, if and when i have so much outstanding debt with them, it would go to the committee for approval.

The historic district proper is pretty safe (there is a neighborhood supported security patrol) but there will be issues with the preservation committee.

I even had one take me all the way to loan committee ( and I have never in all my years had a loan turned down once it went to committee) finally got with a banker there who gave us a mid 7 figure LOC to build homes.. but this after I built over 20 of them successfully out of cash  LOL... still took him looking at all the homes ... interviewing my GC  my flying out there  a few times to meet management etc etc... its a process.and if yoiu buying low end rentals in PA the risk to a bank is very high compared to the very small amount of money they make on these deals.. and out of state landlords fail with a lot of requency and the banks know that.In Mississippi were I have done a bunch of work most local banks simply won't lend to you if you live more than 100 miles from the property.what you need is a National lender and a really good mortgage broker who specializes in this stuff..
