Hello Everyone,I am looking for Credit Union/Bank recommendations in Little Rock, AR.

Credit Unions?

If you're doing it for taxes, call an Real Estate INVESTOR friendly CPA.You could also look at a refi with a smaller bank or credit union.

These specific loans allow me to assume/get her off the deed and the loan without a refinance (it's an amazing loan through Mountain America Credit Union) The CG is calculated into the appraised value. 

I would approach local banks and credit unions first.

For example, my local credit union has a first time home buyer program that will contribute up to $8k in down payment assistance as a grant.

private money with a credit union's commercial funding How did you add value to the deal?
