I would like to find some institutions that provide mortgage loans to an LLC but haven’t been able to find any that don’t require 40% down payments or something ridiculous like that. Is this the norm?

Banks take their loans and bundle them together and sell them on the secondary market. What is the average fee they make on a typical transaction? What is key to understanding how this works?

I have heard that islamic banks give out interest free loans because islam forbids charging interest. How can they afford to do this? What is the catch? What is in it for them? Why would anyone take out a regular loan with interest if this type is available?
