<BR>
I have bought land here in Bozeman, Montana to build the cities first load bearing straw bale home. The issue I am having is finding a lender for the construction portion. Do any of you fine people have any recommendations of lenders for straw bale construction.<BR>
<BR>
I look forward to your responses.<BR>
<BR>
Happy Holidays!<BR>
