It’s worth exploring other small local banks or credit unions, as they often have more flexibility for investors like you.

I also have been speaking or will speak with Roofstock, Home Union, Rent to Retirement, and Marshall Reddick.

Is the lender a bank/credit union or hard/private money?

I am trying to decide whether or not I should go through a traditional bank (JPM), a morgage broker, or try and find a credit union.

For residential mortgage, an LLC needs two years of its own tax returns or occasionally, a local credit union where you have an account will ok it.The bigger question is about your partnership.

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

Agree with Joe, but I'll add that I had a neighbor do this (I am in Union City) and it was an expensive process. 

Should I check into local smaller banks here or Credit Unions? 

Credit unions are often more flexible.

FYI, I went to Credit Union of Texas as well as Bank of Texas and they said they can either create account for Parent LLC or Child if the child has it's on EIN, so that's that!
