I have heard from many commercial contacts that some of the markets are soft and couple that with rising rates, I personally would prefer to leverage my residential properties as those rates are still historically low and you can fix the rates. 

Michelle, local REIAs are a great place to network and find contacts.

The only contact info listed to ask the question is an email address which I emailed, but the government has not responded.

Julie Stewart is a great contact there.

Keep contacting different lenders and you may be pleasantly surprised at the lenders responses once you provide the information their requesting.

I can give you the contact info to my realtor, Vernon Debro, if you’d like.

Message me if you'd like a direct contact there.

Hi everyone, I've been contacted by a person on Bigger pockets who works for CPF Funding, possibly a subsidiary of M&O Funding, but I cannot find any information regarding the 2 companies.

Yonah thank you as well and I will be contacting them also.

If you have the opportunity you should find a REI group to get some contacts to help you through the beginning.
