I would love to know how many folks on BP have been in real estate more than 10 years.Check out this interesting chart  Highly regionalized..

@Nathan Mellor regional bank, First Bank and Trust.

I am looking into getting started in Flipping homes in the East region of Georgia.

I did a few searches on BP, but didn't see this specific topic, so I thought I'd give it a try.In this world of big data and the "interwebs" I am curious of anyone knows of a search that can list all-- say 20+ unit apartment buildings that exist in a city, or region. 

Also, as each of these containers needs to be shipped in individually (one per truck) that unless you're going to a local or regional supplier, the transportation costs will be substantial.I hope this helps.Scott  

@Bruce Gardner, just an FYI for you or others.... if this is residential properties.We are fortunate to have found a lender in our regional market, a smallish bank that holds things in house, that gives GREAT terms.

Regional banks and credit unions are generally the best places to look, and HELOCs vary greatly by lender... it's not like the Fannie/Freddy stuff where you jump through all these hoops to shave 0.125%, it'll be easily 0.75% or more of a spread between lenders. 

I invoked a FL statute forcing the bank to detail why they will not accept my power of attorney; this woke up the regional compliance officer and legal counsel but still they will not work with me. 

(Unless you flip homes for a living)Pending Home Sales Slump As NAR Warns "Activity Has Essentially Stalled"New Home Sales rose in May, Existing Home Sales dropped in May, and today we find out that Pending Home Sales also tumbled in May... so that's 2 down, 1 up - not good (especially as mortgage apps are tumbling in June)This is the second monthly decline in a row, but Pending home sales are down 2.2% YoY - the 5th straight month of annual sales declines.Home sales fell for the year in all regions YoY, but the decline in the last month was concentrated in the South, while the other three regions reported MoM increases.

Local regional banks and credit unions are the best place to look for HELOCs, not mortgage companies or brokers.
