There is little way to avoid the requirement, it's the cost of doing business with banks. - Mon Jul 7 2008, 18:13
This practice is common, and in some cases you can still use the lender of your choice. This is thier way of driving traffic to an affiliated business. I am not an lawyer, but I do know this happens in our area.

Condos are usually just the space between the walls, and no land is included.
If you'd like some help, I could refer you to a competant propessional in your area! - Mon Jul 7 2008, 15:48
