And similarly, the opposing lawyer is all but expected to withhold information (other agent).

I look over all of the photos and see which homes are most like my subject after-rehabbed (similar exterior, layout, and same part of the sub-division).

The portfolio lenders are the very small banks who lend their own money and therefore make their own rules (as opposed to selling the loan on the secondary market and having to use the loan buyer's rules).I would suggest talking to some very small banks (think 1-4 branches in 1 or 2 adjacent cities) and see if they can help you.
