Hello All,I recently secured a single family house for a Short Term Rental in the Poconos and now want to diversify my portfolio with least a duplex (or bigger) to be marketed for Mid-Term Rentals.My ideal geographical regions would be the tri-state area of NY/NJ/CT.

Hey @Kasey Destache - I am also based in Chicago like @Mike Scaccia but we are working with Verve credit union and I believe they are regional not just local to us down here.There are several key BP players up in Milwaukee I'd link up with them and see who they work with. 

.· Over the next 30 years Metro Atlanta is projected to grow by 2.9 million people and reach a total population of over 8.6 million, according to the Atlanta Regional Commission.· Per capita income in Atlanta is $36,867 and median household income is $71,193.

I thought I would try and make some connections in these two regions before my trip and go from there.From what I can tell, TN seems more expensive across the board than Southern MO.

In some areas, I know agents who need to be members of 3 MLS because they work on that "overallapping" border region. 

Specifically the southern region.

Smaller local/regional banks and credit unions are good places to start for those.

This is not likely going to be conventional Fannie/Freddie debt, but some smaller regional lender, or a DSCR lender may have these types of programs.If the 20% downpayment is the sticking point for investing, I can also advocate to look for ways around this.

The property is located in the southeast region of San Antonio, and it's on the exterior of that region (outside Loop 410). 

I'm looking to establish an account with a regional bank in the Hampton Roads Area, Any reccomendations or preferences by those in the BP community use.
