If you are willing to refinance, you can try BofI bank wholesale (through a mortgage broker) for entity vesting at rates that rival conventional lenders underwriting for sale in secondary markets.

Being a contractor and investor myself, I have no problems with these structures and just like anything, if they have been taken care of, find the old built better and made to last longer then alot of the new.You will run into certain things though, like nob and tube wiring, nothing square, straight or on dimensional centers ( 16" etc ) as with the old building tech, they weren't worried about 4x8 sheets of plywood or drywall.
