Banks are getting tighter and may have unperforming assets, so they are looking at their portfolios and becoming more picky, for lack of a better word.When the economy is ripping, banks loosen criteria.

If anyone is in need of a better business banking experience? 

Because interest rates are high right now it probably doesn’t make sense to pull extra cash just to stick it in a bank account.

However, this is a totally new space to me- Any advice for how to go about looking for a lawyer who works with individual investors and won't break the bank?

Are you sticking to traditional banks, exploring private lenders, partnerships, or maybe something creative like seller financing?

@Sharad BagriI would open a bank account at a local bank or credit union that will lend on the properties you are buying.

But....But what if that Bank, financed via borrowed fund's itself, say something like where they themselves only ever had 10 or 20% of the capital they financed and borrowed the remainder via some big bank-2-the-banks?

You should have separate LLCs and separate bank accounts for flips and rentals. 

There are several benefits of having cash in the bank/liquid reserves versus an open end mortgage (a.k.a) credit card.

Horse stable in the middle of LA, 20 acres 1/2 swamp next to major airport in Florida, church with 6 acres in the middle of town, contact bank Trust departments and let them know you want to buy.
