CEDAR FIRE SURVIVOR NEEDS INFO ON ALL-STEEL HOUSES IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY TO SATISFY LENDER REQUIREMENTS
October 9, 2011 (San Diego’s East County) – East County Magazine has received the following request from a reader who is having trouble obtaining refinancing on a construction loan to rebuild her home destroyed in the Cedar Fire.
According to Carlynne Albee, her lender needs additional information on similar houses built entirely of steel. Below is her letter, if any readers know how to obtain the information that she needs.
Good afternoon,
I need a HUGE favor. Here is the background: I am a Cedar Fire Re builder that built an all steel house - including siding and roof, etc - totally fire proof, termite proof, earthquake proof, no way to suffer wood rot, never need painting or re roofing, etc. Problem is, I have been trying to arrange to refinance my construction loan with a reverse mortgage and the lenders have been turning us down because they can't find any other house like mine, and they really want to see that one has sold. Those of us that build them do so as forever homes. I do have the name and address of another Cedar Fire re builder with an all steel home and I have heard of two others, one of which survived the Cedar Fire but I don't know where they are..
Is there anyway that you would consider including the following in an email to your entire list, and I trust your judgment as to whether you have them contact me or go through you. No, I don't expect a special, just for me email, but if you could include it, that would help me save my house - time is running out.
We need the addresses of any all steel houses in San Diego County. By all steel, we mean steel supports as well as steel siding and steel roof. A Cedar Fire Re builder needs this for their lender and neither the county nor the MLS show such information. They do need actual addresses. Thank you for your help.
Thank you for taking this request seriously, and feel free to contact me if you need further information,
