Any time I hear someone refer to "cold calling", I cringe as I put myself in the position of the person receiving the call or email and know that I will almost never buy/agree to anything from someone cold calling me.What I like to do when I'm in these situations, is try what I refer to as "warm calling".

I'd recommend speaking to a referred lender to help you understand all of your options.
