You may want to shop around for a bit more competent originator.PS - at the end of the first paragraph it seemed like you referred to yourself as the originator.

I lived in Shasta County, which along with Trinity and Humboldt are the largest pot growing areas in the country, with Mexican drug cartels setting up shop in all the federal forests.

Shop around with other lenders, they can tell you what loan programs they have without making an application.

After that I started shopping local banks and seeing who offered portfolio loans.  

Condos are ubiquitous along out beaches and if I had to choose I would say that Treasure Island, Indian Rocks, Redington and Madeira Beach have some of the more boardwalk type feel with some small shops, restaurants and hometown feel.take care,Doug

I do use The CE Shop for CE courses since they will give me credit for multiple, similar courses for different states.Mark

Shop Anderson, Marvin, Harvey.In properties I plan on keeping I use Anderson windows, their E series are very good and you can get them in custom sizes for older homes with various style grates and of course in wood.

I wouldn't shop at that store!

Kinda like people bash/make fun of Wal-Mart but at the same time shop their.

Only way you know is to shop it and see!
