Commercial Financing below $1M - Any contacts?

[Leo B.]

Hello-

I've been looking at multifamily properties (5+ units) priced between $200K and $1M but it's been difficult finding lenders willing to loan to these amounts.  I've contacted a number of local banks and credit unions in the areas I'm looking at (IN, OH, TN, KY), however they are only willing to lend to borrowers residing in that state and I'm from CA.  Does anyone have any good lender or mortgage broker contacts for these types of loans?

Thanks,

-Leo
