    What is the home worth ? Does the home meet loan requirements ?

    But have you checked your credit to be sure something bad did not get on there for mistake or fraud

    Yes the credit is spotless, the lenders say the loan is to small, can you believe that, I don't understand?? I could get a car loan right now for the same amount and zero down and bad credit, why won't anybody lend to me? grrrrrrr

    Hello d:

    Try a credit union, or a community bank who carries their own loan portfolio. They'll tell you if they do on the phone.

    If you're putting 20% down, and the mortgage is only for $30K, then perhaps the banks are worried that since you only have $7.5K of your own money in the game you would simply walk away if the market value doesn't hold up. Is this an investment property?
