We never made a single deal, since all we wanted to do mainly was retail shopping centers and large scale multi-family.

They own a shopping center that they built probably 6 years ago.

Let me know if you would like to get together for lunch or something sometime where we could talk shop.

That's an unmitigated violation of privacy.I could go off on a rant here about how even people who sell firearms aren't allowed to ask that question and there's no way to check for the ticking time bombs that are the movie theater, shopping mall, school, you-name-it shooters.  

Here's 2 shops I know of to call:https://www.vmf.com/https://www.21stmortgage.com/web/21stSite.nsf/inde...I just googled:  mobile home financingOk to your REI career that needs a jump start.  

Give me a shout if you ever want to talk shop.

I do my shopping on Redfin and often don't even need an agent, except to present offers. 

Shop around in your area and I'm sure you will find a lender. 

If it helps, I have NOVA clients that shop in areas closer that are MUCH cheaper.

As a RE seller and I sell a lot of property each year that we own well over 70 properties and almost all the pre approval letters come in right at the max they can borrow IE they get approved for 400k they don't shop for a 250k house they go right to the max.For the Rich and famous I have bought those as well  ( well at least sports stars) and I will mention one by name since he is deceased..
