Cohousing-L Mailing List: Financing cohousing

[ann zabaldo (zabaldo]

Hi all!

Over the years I've noticed some queries wanting the names and phone
numbers of appraisers and institutions that have financed cohousing
communities.  Generally, the information was wanted as a way to help
bolster a group's claim to its identified lender that cohousing is a
good risk.

I cruised around on the structured archives and found a list compiled
by Denise Meier ('97) that had as one of its questions the name of
the lender for the community.  Sometimes there's even a phone number.

My question is:  is there a more recent list lurking around out
there?  Is there a list that is specifically a compilation of lending
institutions?

If this kind of list is not available this seems like a great project
for someone who wants to make a contribution to cohousing.  Any
takers?
