I am willing to pay whatever interest that is required as long as it is reasonable and from a reputable lender
I'm curious: Why is it important for you for the lender to be reputable? I don't see how he can scam you.
to answer your question I said I would accept any reasonable interest from a reputable lender, meaning if some low life comes out of left field and says I will loan it to you for 200% interest - I would not accept it.
anyways the loan has been made - thank you znort
