Need help finding a bank in SoCal to refi a rental with an ADU
A friend recently shared with me that she is having a really hard time finding a bank who will refinance a rental property that she ownes in Monrovia, California.
The property has an ARV of 650k
She has a first position loan for 84K and a second for 55k
Family income is 130k
She has been told by a couple of banks that because the rental has a second property on it (ADU - 1 bed 1 bath) and it's a rental, that she can't get it refinanced. That doesn't make sense to me, but most of my real estate is in Arizona so I don't have many bank/lender contacts in California.
I would love to hear from anyone with any suggestions to help my friend.

Thanks @Christopher L., @Khoa P., and @Nabil Suleiman, for responding. I’ve sent her a few contacts that I have gotten so far this morning. She is going to start making some calls.
I welcome more referrals.
