Local bank or mortgage bank or mortgage broker

[Mike Bicho]

Hi BP, Looking for input on type of lender to work with. I'm looking to buy multis (2-4) units and single families. I will be using a $350k HELOC for the purchase and rehab. I can then with hold or flip. If hold, I want to finance. I met with a local bank on the residential side. Initial rates look good. I'm also wondering if I should shop mortgage bank lenders and mortgage brokers. Any advice on type of lender and specific mortgage banks/brokers to contact. Properties are in MA. Thanks, Mike
