Can anybody in this auspicious body of folks help with suggestions for 
financing, or does anybody know of lenders who are accoustomed to doing these 
transactions?  Also, if there are any earth sheltered homes that you know of 
that have sold or been built within the past 6 months to one year, a lender 
might be able to use them as comparable sales with adjustments for area.  
Please feel free to post to the group or to me personally, as appropriate.

You might also try http://www.spiritmoney.com/ and their related service
Dreamsource Mortgage.  They're based in Colorado, but are interested in
lending everywhere.  

Also in Colorado, speak to Maggie Remmington, loan officer at Western Colorado
Bank: maggie at rmi.net, 970-626-9707

We also list a (too small) number of lenders in our Directory of Green
Building Professionals at http://www.greenbuilder.com.  If you know of any in
your area, encourage them to list with us.
