Hey BP Community, I'm wondering if there are advantages/disadvantages from getting a HELOC from a local bank or a mortgage company. 

It can be hard to lump them all together, but here are some of the general buckets I have seen, and companies that fit into them.

You can clearly see what company I "work" for as a residential mortgage lender, but they aren't the end-lenders that get all of my business (far from it), and it's not any sort of secret. 

You might also want to look at how established the company is,  how established their accounts are, and whether or not the company is growing.

That's rare.You could probably do a 2nd for the $10,000.Talk to your title company or title attorney and have them draw up the deed of trust and loan terms for the 2nd. 

The house has survived many hurricanes with little damage, but the insurance company said they would not renew coverage without a windstorm exclusion. 

Now you do want the company to have key person insurance policy in case that person does get hit by the bus. - Lends at conservative LTVs, stage-gates release of funds based on project milestones.Again, you want double digit returns with no risk???

Hello Mandy,  I work for a company called Visioneering Studios, we are a design+build firm that focuses on churches!

Same question like if you are a supplier to company , you made your project more continues and large enough so they can give you enough volume discount… key imo is to use the same contractor over and over so both parties are creating mutual trust.

There are a few companies that will help connect you with out of state turnkey properties and management companies.
