See what different lending institutions have to say about my situation?

Specifically, I'm interested in pursuing a cash-out refinance to leverage the equity in my investment properties.If you know of any reputable financial institutions in the area that cater to investors like myself, I'd greatly appreciate your recommendations! 

You never know a person's situation.A couple other reasons why a person would seller fi:1) they have had other offers "fall out" due to any number of issues with financing2)  they have a "unique" property, which may be difficult to sell using institutional financing.

I realized that I cannot complete with all cash offers that are $1 million plus, zero contingencies, and various other advantages that institutional and very wealthy buyers have to their advantage.

As lending institutions have been in the rhythm of loans being repaid frequently on commercial notes, borrowers are scrambling to perform on their side of the bargain.

.- As far as the fees go, UW fees are usually a standard but again, the origination is derived from the loan amount so some institutions who are charged borrower paid may hit you with a 3% fee.- Not saying it is an industry standard to charge 16% in closing costs but it once you add up all of your prepaids, other costs, and unfinanced fees its not completely unheard of.In the end, yes - always get a second opinion.
