Can i trust a banks advice?

[Joe Sniadowski]

Im very new to real estate and trying my best to learn and seek advice.  From what im gathering and have through life in general is that everything is a business and everyone is looking out for whats in THEIR best interest when it comes to money.  So when it comes to banks, is it wise to ever go to them with questions or advice or are they simply going to tell me whats best for them and not me?  Will they tell me whatever i can manage to do but profits them the most or are they a reliable source to discuss my money management?
