@Lisa Eisenhauer, Yes, this is known issue, most local banks will not be able to help you. 

Hey Shawn - Highly suggest going to local meetups and joining investing groups on FB to build your local network.

I saw two recommendations to attend the local REIA.

In most states they must be published in a local paper which all are online.

I'd recommend the spread on the return and your ability to replace damaged items (local vs. not local, strength of your team) be the determining factors in that decision.

Hi @Regina Story, I am having the same problem with Stessa, I have local banks that recently changed name and website and I am unable to link accounts.

Phil Alexander, the main guy, does not hold the local providers accountable.

I started my OOS HML  career in Detroit and that was 2002 and WOW coming from our area what an education I got.. my clients that were doing turnkey at the time and all the buyers were out of state ( basically LA based) the local on the ground operator was very good he had all sorts of tricks to try to keep the houses safe.. the one i really liked was painting the copper pipes grey so thieves would not steal them..

Another option may be a credit union or small local bank that would consider doing it as a portfolio loan, but the rate and term may not be as good as conventional 30 year fixed.

Summer months are always popular for both locals and again those from the south looking to escape the summer heat.
