JWB is certainly legit.

Sooo... most HML will tell you (it’s in my interest that your deal works out) which sounds good and fairly legitimate given that if the flip doesn’t sell after rehab they probably don’t get paid timely and have to jum...

I got pre- qualified from one called Fembi Mortgage, I went to their offices and they seemed legit, but there is also Oriental Bank and Banco Popular.
