Look up the prison term range for lying to a financial institution.  

Contact the REO department of banks and lending institutions locally and ask about property preservation.

@Michael Bishay people misuse these terms all the time, but if you research you will find:Hard Money: institutional funds, from hedge funds, etc.Private Money: from individuals, often family & friends, but could be from anyone.

These are the compliance auditors and examiners for institutions generally, this is still a gray area as you may have a small bank officer who has had to self-study through this maze , then you may have a compliance officer from a large institution who has attended formal training, so consider that. 

These can become third party originations for a sponsoring institution and such can be in violation of the new laws.So, it's going to take an independent broker who can originate wholesale mortgages to enter these waters, they will need to be compliant under state laws which vary widely, there are or can be net worth, bonding, insurance, educational and experience requirements.

Many are shying away from investment properties altogether; some may entertain financing if you have a large deposit account (or are willing to establish one) with their institution. 

So, we have hedge funds, institutions, private investors, everybody including their deal uncle wanting in the real estate game.

Typically you see these with larger institutional assets, not the more mom and pop type properties.

Anyone know financial institutions that would loan on a manufactured home on rented space?

institutional competition?
