We are starting a business

[Winn Merwin]

Hello,

My wife and I currently have one SFR in Augusta and are under contract on a duplex in Augusta, GA. This is our "farm" area. We recently moved from Augusta, GA to Braselton, GA, which is 2 hours away. We plan to keep investing in Augusta. We are in the process of starting our small business and are not sure where to look for a portfolio lender/local bank to partner with to start our business.

Should we find a bank close to were we live or focus on a bank that knows the area we plan to invest in for years to come? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Winn and Kaitlin Merwin
