Fidelity Mortgage Lenders

I recently needed a loan for a real estate purchase opportunity that came up at the last minute. A traditional lender would have taken 4 — 6 weeks on a refinance, at least. Fidelity (Neil Sokoler, Loan Manager) had the funds to me within 1 week!
There are limitations (maximum 50% loan to value and business property only (commercial or residential)) and expenses (mine were a couple points more than a standard lender and about 3% higher interest). However, if having certain and timely access to funds is a priority, then this is the best option. In my case, the earnings from the deal more than covered the costs.
I received the loan in January and paid it off last week. There was no prepay penalty and no additional fees. I did provide an application and credit report. But no income taxes or income verification. As my income is based on investment holdings and sales it varies dramatically from year to year based on what makes the best financial sense. I have since worked with another lender (only because the deal was tied to a personal residential loan) and after countless delays, am back with Fidelity to handle the business property side of the loan. Once again they are coming through in flying colors.
Being able to trust that the financing is handled by the best in the business has allowed me to focus on the investment side of the equation. Fidelity Mortgage Lenders are worth their weight in gold.
