This undoubtedly wins business from conservative, traditional family-values types.. but on the flip side of the coin, it really ended up alienated a segment of customers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick-fil-A_same-sex... 

I just got a email from Wells Fargo confirming what a banker that I could get funding for my deals through my business from a traditional lender.

Smith  take your large sum of cash and deposit it in a local small community bank get to know your community banker and then set up credit with them... won't go against your fico and they will be there for you in the long run... best rates and you don't get killed with junk fee's like traditional lending... long term relationships.. and by a lot of money I would think mid 6 in cash would get some small commercial bankers attention.

If you cannot qualify traditionally, then hard money lenders can help you pull out some of your excess equity, but the interest rates will be higher than the bank rates and the loan-to-value will also be lower.

Keep in mind the people who own 2-4 unit building often have a hard time liquidating them as traditional home buyers are not interested.  

Unlike traditional homebuyers, investors aren’t looking for places to live or to raise their families – they’re looking for properties they can use to make a profit.

They want to refinance this into a traditional loan but.

Go to  a bank and get a traditional loan for 80% of its value through REFINANCING, which is 64K (80% x 80K).

I believe I would like to go with a larger reputable lender for my first time out but I have read that it is sometimes difficult to go the traditional mortgage route with mobile homes.
