Regional banks usually have better programs of 25 year amort. and 7 to 10 year loan term instead of 5 year loans from local banks.Even if you find long term funding the rate is usually much higher reducing your spread between debt and cap rate purchase.

And it is relatively close to Santa Cruz and that wine producing region.

For example, turn management and its associated costs of running the huge river island park, Belle Isle, or the historic fort, Fort Wayne over the the state or regional authority as has been proposed and rejected by the former incompetent "leadership".Contrary to what I sense is the conventional wisdom outside Michigan, this is not the beginning of a disaster.

However, being raised in the countries poorest region "Appalachia" I can honestly say that I have not had very good mentoring when it comes to investing.A few years ago I move to Lexington, Kentucky where I now attend University and am finally completing my undergrad degree in Computer Engineering.

Regional banks generally have the best mix of amort. and loan term.

The lender I work with in Ft Wayne only operates in the NE region of Indiana.It will be up to you to decide what works for you based upon: Experience, time available, interests, risk tolerance, long term goals.Good luck to you.Chris

Most banks don't even look at loans under $100,000, maybe regional or local banks might.So just find some deals, and then worry about price threshold

I am hoping to get an owner-occ in the Flint region in the next 4-6 months.
