Mike,I think this is what you want:http://www.dre.ca.gov/lic_sb36_safe.htmlOnly exemptions I've heard is that the folks manning a desk at B of A/WF/Chase may not need this type of licensing, but I doubt you're looking for retail rates and also that your uncle works for an institutional lender.

We are the Premier Real Estate Investment Company in the Los Angeles County Market and I recently noticed that you provided a private mortgage for the property located at: 1234 Anywhere, Los Angeles, CAAs an investor, I am always looking to add to my pool of private money lenders and in exchange I can typically offer a very handsome return on your money versus simply parking it in a bank, financial institution or brokerage.Providing private mortgages to real estate investors like myself is an incredible way to make a handsome return while taking advantage of the unprecedented foreclosure market we are in, without ever having to deal with tenants, change light bulbs or replace toilets.I would like to discuss inviting you into my pool of private lenders via a short phone call.

Are you asking if there is a list of contractors who have participated in HUD 232/221(d)4 projects?

I'm glad to see you come out of the shadows to post after 6 months lurking.I wonder if you'd be able to tell me what you think may have incentivized you to jump in and post/participate sooner?

Banks (not just the small ones) and other institutions are selling and buying notes all of the time in bulk.
