Up here in Montana we have the same trouble, only one investor is buying these loans. Extremely difficult to get these done, and to this a cistern waiver for waterless properties and you have a real struggle on your hands. Good luck!
The only people who still do it here in our area (Oklahoma) is Wells Fargo.
