Hello,

Anyone have suggestions for lenders; mortgage brokers, alternative money, for an off-grid Natural Spaces Dome project.

The system is broken when a person with a good income and excellent credit can't get a loan, for well below their repayment capacity...all because their dream home design (all engineered and to code) includes solar and drilling a well and or water catchment.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I would talk with my local banker where I keep my money.  They will be able to see my history and know I am a good risk.

If that doesn't work, then I would talk with the people that are installing my solar or generator.  They will only give a loan for that part of the construction.

Same with water catchment, roofing, etc.

It is bits and pieces but doable if you have some cash.

Farm Credit is a business that lends for land loans.

 
Yes, my master! Here is the tiny ad you asked for:
