Small Regional Conventional Financing Austin, Tx Recommendations

[Nicole Petrey]

Hello fellow BP Members,

Newbie investor here, gearing up to purchase my first property in Austin, Tx (Round Rock, Pflugerville, Cedar Park area) within the next 4 months. I was interested in any recommendations on smaller region banks that are investor friendly. I currently bank with a national credit union and was interested to know if building a relationship locally is more advantageous in this step of my journey. 

Our first property will be a SFH the following another SFH or small multi-family (if the numbers work) and then scale from there (I have decided on the buy and hold strategy). I have enough capital for a standard 20% downpayment but I am interested or open in any FHA programs.

(couldn't locate a thread on this so I thought create one-any help is appreciated)

Thank you!
