Matt,
thanks for that input!
We to have struggled with the Treasurer trying to collect money from Brothers, It dont work!
We have decided to go The Omega Way for a try. Now, they do this for a fee so be prepared.
What DeltaAlum and LXAAlum both have said is true! If you have been there that long, you should have someone in the Financial Industry who will go with you! Are you buying a existing house ( I take it at that) and not trying to build a new House. The Property and build can also be use as collateral if ever default.
Is the continuance of Greek Orgs Stable there? If so, there should be little or maybe no problem finding an institution to loan you money! It is just finding the right one!
20 % sounds pretty good!
But, keep working to make it more, it cannot hurt to have more than the less!
Good Luck!
