Hey Dominic!

Wells fargo has almost no cost of capital but a huge infrastructure, so they are GREAT for big acquisitions but bad for small players to deal with.Smaller banks are more expensive but they become much closer to partners then lenders because their success is much more closely tied to your success.now if we are just talking Fannie Mae loans that can be issued by absolutely anyone then a local investor friendly loan broker is your best bet. 

I agree with @Jeff Cagle that the real opportunities will be coming in late 2020 and early 2021 after people use up their government deferred leverage and when they do, there will be far more players in the game.

They need to see you in their circle for about a year or so before they will come around to see you as a solid player.

Put in a BluRay player and have a collection of adult movies.

I'd be happy to share some of the bigger players in this space.
