[GSBN] Straw Bale Construction Loans

[nature boy]

Mark,

Here are two clients of mine who have built in the last few years. I'm not sure 
about their financing arrangements, but you can call them and ask. I'm sure that 
they'd be happy to speak with you about how they made it happen.

* Dan Carter, a strawbale home in Clackamas County, Oregon at 503-969-7269 

* Alison Buckingham, a strawbale home in Clark County, Washington, at 
360-903-8915

Best of luck to you!
Mark

Greetings All,
 
I hope this finds everyone in good health.
 
I have been in the process of building the first load-bearing straw bale inside 
the city limits of Bozeman, Montana. I have been working with a bank for the 
last year or so and at the last minute pulled out because of straw bale. Can 
anyone recommend lenders for me. I have tried many off TLS site but many have 
stopped or are no longer in business. I have a job, I have down payment, I have 
very good credit, I have experience building straw bale homes. That’s what I do 
for Red Feather. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Happy building!
 
Mark
