When you find someone who can help you this way and understands the lending business and most important has access to the products you need you'll be just fine.Happy hunting and I hope this helps.

Remember, its not worth going to court over, a lease, just like a mortgage is the product of negotiation between two people.That being said always consult a lawyer in regards to legal advice.
