Michelle,

I thought you went to my Zillow profile, or my website, and saw that I only originate jumbo loans and that is why you mentioned "Sorry Rudi, the amount is around $200,000." It is unfortunate, for both of us, that I cannot help you due to your loan amount. ... Good luck.

Happy funding, Rudi

Michele, I may have found a lender for you. What is your opinion of the property's value and what is the loan amount you are seeking. I am assuming you have an excellent FICO score, employment and sufficient assets for reserves.

Happy funding, Rudi

There is some great info here: http://www.aidomes.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=95&Itemid=323

There's even been some discussion here at "Z"  http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/Geodesic-Dome-Financing/14985/

I was thinking a local independently owned bank might work with him.

Thank you for the feedback, equity looks good but it is hard to guess without an appraisal, the appraisal waiver sounds good.  I haven't really dealt with that before. He has been in the house for 15 yrs and just wants a little cash out, not a crazy amount, all else is fantastic on this borrower.  So disheartening when you have someone like this and you have to basically tell them their property has no usable value anymore.

What sort of down payment or equity? Your best bet is to get an appraisal waiver.

Michelle,

This will be difficult. Lenders require comparable sales in the given area to help determine value. There may not be enough Geo-homes in your area to do this. To enjoy the benefits of this type of property usually requires an all-cash purchase. Good luck.

Happy funding, Rudi
