Log Home Mortgage

A log home mortgage is different than financing a "stick built" home. Not all lenders are set up to handle the requirements involved in a log home mortgage. Many will try to make your project "fit" their program, rather than fitting the log home mortgage to the unique requirements of your log home project. Email Log Home Mortgage questions
