Recommended Local Banks or Credit Unions for Obtaining a Mortgage

[Nicolas Middleton]

Hi everyone,

My wife and I live here in St. Pete and I wondered if anyone has a good recommendation for a local bank that was easy to deal with for getting a loan?  We currently bank at Bank of America but customer service hasn't been that good and I'm wondering if we could do better with a smaller, more personal bank.

For context, we are looking to purchase our first property, hopefully a multi-family that we can live in one unit and rent out the others.

Thanks in advance!

@Nicolas Middleton I know the president of a local firm. He has around 10 people working for him. He is an investor first, lender second and in addition to doing traditional loans has some very creative financing options. Better yet is he lends private money too! He is the one stop shop.
