Cohousing-L Mailing List: California "Cohousing friendly" condominiums lenders?

[Neil Planchon (neil]

Greetings to you all,

I am reaching out to the many wonderful contributors on our cohousing  
listserv, on behalf of my friend and neighbor Debby, to ask you for  
any information you can share about California "Cohousing friendly"  
condominiums lenders.

Debby has found a highly qualified buyer to purchase her home and  
every phase of the transaction is complete with the exception of  
finding a lender.  Debby has stepped in to assist the buyers and I to  
support Debby.  Community in action...

So, I thought I would start by asking.... If you live in a Cohousing  
community in California and have a mortgage, Debby would like to know  
who your lender is.  Or, if you have any experience and information  
about a lender who is presently making loans to California "Cohousing  
friendly" condominiums buyers (say that five times quickly!!), she  
would love to hear about those lenders too.

Thank you very much, in advance!
