Hi Everyone,For a long time I've been thinking about switching my banking business (personal and business checking/savings, etc.) to a local bank to help support the local community instead of filling the pockets of these large banks.Does anyone here have experience with any of the local community bank or credit union that provides good service? 

In border states, such as in the Rust Belt and New England, we have found smaller local banks and credit unions who are willing to lend to Canadians (and are familiar with Canadian credit histories, NOAs, etc).

If you try to get a seller financed second mortgage you may have to call around to a bunch of local banks and credit unions.

I bought a condo in Union City, CA in May 2017, so it's roughly about a year.

From what I've seen, traditional financing through a small bank/credit union is probably my best bet.

Anyone in Phoenix who has used a credit union or a bank to fund commercial deals can you recommend some. 

Navigant Credit Union will do 95% LTV for a HEL not HELOC. 

I am using a local credit union to finance the property, but they will not allow me to personally guarantee a loan for an LLC.

Make sure that in the area they're not going to expand rent control  Look up AB1506 in California a lot of tenant and tenants union groups are trying to expand rent control to single family houses, condos and post 1990s built properties https://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains...Expansion ab 1506 https://sf.curbed.com/2018/1/9/16871314/rent-contr...http://www.tenantstogether.orgthis is a group that is heavily funded by political movements trying to expand housing authorities that will lock rents in different areas.
