Investor friendly banks in Maryland

[Alexi Polenur]

Hi all,

I am tired of Bank of America and trying to find a smaller bank where I can establish relationship. 

The bank which holds their loan on books instead of selling to Fanie.

The idea is that if I bank with them for couple of years and they get to know me, perhaps they would be willing to finance some of my real estate deals.

Is it realistic idea ?

Any suggestions on the bank ?

Some people recommend to go with really small "community bank" other saying : "go with larger regional bank ..."

Any advice is greatly appreciated
