Investor friendly local banks?

    Does anybody have any recommendations for investor friendly local banks? I currently have my personal accounts with USAA and my business account with Wells Fargo, but I'd like to take my business to a local bank that would be a bit more receptive with what we do as real estate investors. 

    Thanks in advance!

    I would suggest looking at credit unions. They typically are better and charge less in fee's. I have a few loans through CU Members Mortgage. As I recall they will even lend as little as $50k.

    How many properties do you have? Typically you need more liquid cash reserve after the fourth. I believe its 6 months of PITI reserves on each currently financed property. Some places will allow you to use 70% value of your 401k to show reserve. Most mortgage providers follow this Fannie Mae rule.

    As well you might want to look towards a good mortgage broker. They can find the financing for you. If you are in the the 1-4 property range call Jeff Lancaster 214-244-0807. He might be able to help.

    Justin State Bank- Phil Alexander 940.648.2753

    Last I knew they offered 85% of tax appraised value at 6% for 180 days, no payments until balloon at 180 days.

    Affiliated Bank- Stacy Williams 817.460.8052

    I think they offer similar investment loans.
