Dane, I do not have a specific lender that I personally know in Orlando, Florida, that I can recommend to you however, the advise I would humbly give you is not to limit yourself to just lenders that are physically located in your area and definitely do not limit yourself to working only with banks and credit unions.Banks and credit unions offer real estate investors some major benefits (lowest rates and very good terms) but their are a few major draw backs (limit on how many properties they will allow you to finance, lengthy times to close, a lot of documentation).
