I can eat pizza every day. Crispy thin crust is the way to go. Prefer sausage and meatball as toppings. The Chicago deep dish is delicious, but eats like a meal…not pizza.
What do you prefer?

Many people like to purchase homes with acreage so they are not close to neighbors. Some homeowners have over 20 acres and are having difficulty getting financing on first or second-mortgage loans. Working on a case now where my client has a home on 81 acres, and there is not a single non-QM wholesale lender that will touch this property due to the large acreage the home sits on. The Veterans Affairs Administration will allow VA loans on large acreage if the property is not a working farm. In this thread, I like to go over financing a home that sits on acreage, what a working farm is, what the definition of a hobby farm is, and the loan options homeowners who want to buy or refinance on a home with acreage have. Luckily, I have a super cool client who is working with me on getting these obstacles answered. I have not yet encountered a single wholesale lender who will finance a first or second mortgage on homes larger than 10 acres.

Here is my story about my experience with Discover and the disputes I have been going through. Advise our viewers on this type of case situation if any of you run into it. Very time-consuming, stressful, and a total waste of time for me and my staff. I will start with the scenario of what has transpired from day one:
I am Gustan Cho Associates’s branch manager, a dba of NEXA Mortgage, LLC. We are a national mortgage lender licensed in 48 states, including Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, and the United States Virgin Islands. I am the manager of operations, support staff, and loan origination for the Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois, Branch NMLS 2315275 located at 17W662 Butterfield Road, Suite 305, Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois. The Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois, Branch is licensed in 48 states, including DC, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. We are the largest producing branch at NEXA Mortgage in production and have a lot of monthly expenses. I have two different types of credit cards to pay my monthly debts. Under no circumstances do I ever use my personal credit card for business related expenses. I mainly use my Discover credit card for my personal expenses. My personal expenses include anything that is not business related that cannot be written off from my income taxes. If you can review my Discover card statements for the past three years, you can see that only personal expenses such as fuel, groceries, shopping dog food and other merchandise for personal use from AMAZON, personal homeowners insurance. Now Discover is saying that I am responsible for payment even though it was not authorized for concurring charges on my Discover. Anyone had things like this happen? I will update you on the progress.
NEXA Mortgage issues us a corporate credit card from US Bank to pay all our branch expenses about the business. We are only allowed to charge business expenses. Any business expenses is charged to US Bank corporate business credit card. Business expenses includes rent, advertising expenses such as (YLOPO, RAVEN, ZILLOW, GOOGLE LEADS) expenses for leads, marketing, printing, co-marketing expenses with realtor partners, business lunches, travel, licensing, training and education, and any other direct and/or third-party business-related expenses. I have always use any business-related expenses on my corporate US Bank Visa card for business expenses and never my personal credit cards.
