@Ben Russell - Try the local credit unions like ENT, Bellco, or Canvas

Websites like Zillow, Rent.com, or local real estate agents can provide insights.4. 

By the time the customer figures out the local process and who he buddies up to and locates and screens subs etc , there is NO cost savings .
