Call and talk to anyone connected to real estate: Agents, Wholesalers, lenders, banks, attorney's, surveyors, contractors, etc.... and ask a lot of questions.

In the podcast I hear a lot about building relationships with local banks and leveraging those relationships for future financing and creative financing options.

Would it be best to go to a small bank or credit union?

Does anyone have infor on banks or institutions that offer real estate IRAs?

The bank has come way down from asking. 

I get it... you have cash, you are banking on 10% appreciation...
