What specifics do you include?

Are there any specific VA lenders that may work well with someone with a not so ideal score?

I feel familiar enough with the market but would love to talk with you about area specifics.  

@Kris Benson there is a specific industry devoted to what you are asking. 

If you don't have a specific deal that you want to finance right now then come up with a description of what you are targeting and call a few of the banks to ask what they can do for that type of deal.

I'll have to dig to get specifics, if I decide this property still has a chance. 

I'm specifically looking to connect with people whom have experience in remodeling homes in the DFW area.

You inject 35% /cash into the project & the lender will finance 65% LTC, set a maximum purchase price, pick a specific location, and property type. 

So last September I was reached out to our CAM, saying that I was bumped back to 3rd because this specific owner (also board member) was not happy with his spot.

I assist my clients by asking all the right questions, getting to know them and understanding their family's specific needs.About the FHA, I think the fact you work in CA doesn't mean you resign there.
