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.
