When they help get a tenant approved quickly, I sent them cookies or candy as a thank you, and make a point to stop in when we're in FL.Condos/townhouses have been a good investment for us.

They are going to base the approval on how they feel about you and the numbers for this particular project.Portfolio or Commercial Lending is about RELATIONSHIPS!!!

The borrower draws when they need money and pay down both principal and interest monthly - If they need more money they draw again.I've approved maybe 1 in 12 700 FICO borrowers.  

I already have gotten a funding approval for this property, and now I am sitting here in LIMBO.Another seller I have contacted owns a house that will probably need to be torn down.

I've been approved with Wells Fargo

People buying homes will generally do this.1. get pre approved... and they need good credit as we know and DTI say 30 to 40% and they can afford a 1000 a month lets say.

I've noticed several ads for mobile's have a statement along the lines of "Purchasers must apply for and be approved to reside within our Community".  

Any informed seller laughs the "partner approval" crap.
