About Brian McElroy Expertise I am a home builder in the Tampa Florida area specializing in energy-efficient homes built with precast concrete wall systems that are hurricane resistant to 235 mph. I have researched and used many methods of new home construction and find this the most cost-effective, environmentally-friendly method of home building for this area. I am also investigating other alternative methods to improve my products. I am a member of the Florida Green Build Coalition, EPA Energy Star Program, and have other affiliations involving energy savings, safe building practices and quality construction practices

Question Do you have people who need financing for dome homes and other "earth friendly designs"? We finance these homes in all 50 states. We finance purcheses, new construction and refis. Please contact my email address.
Answer We do not build dome homes. But if anyone asks, I will pass the info along. I have had a couple of folks having problems in Missouri, I think, looking for funding.

Answer: I talked to another lender today. If the borrower has an office in the area, they might help. Look for M&I bank. Also, Chase has a program for energy efficient homes.
I have talked to several brokers. If the credit score was 700 or above, they would look at it. I think the only way to do this is through a local bank, or a local S&L or private financing.
