thanks again terry, I thought that may be the case, i am just trying to figure out why lenders wont accept it any more.Are there ways that you can get a mortgage for say 80% from a traditional lender and pay the 20% deposit then have the lender take out a 2nd mortgage?I assume this is possible however would like some thoughts on ways to do it…[Read more]
