Hi BP community,Can anyone share any recommendations on an investor friendly, local bank which you are working with or have had good experiences with in the past?

I am currently evaluating a multi-family investment opportunity in Anaheim, CAIs there a local commercial broker or property manager who could tell me what the market cap rate is for C class multifamily buildings 10 to 20 units in that area?

My advice would be to maybe reach out to a company here locally that already has the relationships and the licenses in place and learn from them.
