Developing relationships with community banks

[Bridgette Smith]

Hello! I am a new investor (I'm sure this is the beginning to a lot of posts here) looking to get started in both wholesaling and buy and holds (rentals). For the latter, one of the items I've come across is of course how to finance deals, in particular, the good ole fashioned way of securing a loan. I've also read that it's a good idea to possibly look to do so through community banks. Other than a general Google search, how do you go about finding REI friendly banks? Does anyone out there have recommendations if investing in Texas?
