Looking for Financing in WI

[Henry Reyes]

The real estate plan is working, I have been holding a couple of apartment buildings in southeastern Wisconsin for 7 years and they have appreciated in value.  I am ready to do a cash out refinance and keep investing.  Three related questions:

1) Who should I approach for the refinance (2 buildings - 36 units) in southeastern Wisconsin, some names I have seen in past forum posts are TriCity, US Bank, Summit Credit Union, Landmark Credit Union and Waterstone Bank, but I don't have any names of anyone I should contact in these places.  I am in the Milwaukee area and properties are in the Janesville area.

2) Would these be the same institutions to use for new acquisitions? (same general geographic area)

3) Would anyone recommend a mortgage broker instead of going one by one through these various financial institutions?

Thank you so much for your help.
