Hello, I'm seeking a mortgage on a property that was purchased in a recent sheriff sale, property located in Union City, NJ.I've been assured that that are local banks that will underwrite mortgages even on the basis of an external appraisal (can't get  an internal one because I can't get in the property yet).Any ideas on which these "local banks" may be?
