@Srikanth Vadlakonda Any legitimate lender should be willing to give you their contact information and be even more willing to speak over the phone or in person.The oldest scam in the book is fake lenders charging ridiculous up front fees and then blowing off the customer.

Find local banks in the area where your property is located and ask to speak with their commercial lender.
