We are in Arkansas and haven't been able to find a banker here who will even talk to us about a FL condo.

More importantly, if the only way you can invest is by doing what the bankers tell you to do, then you're going to miss out on lots of opportunities, lots of opportunities.My main concern, however, is that if you lead with the fact you have $17,000, someone will find a way to make your $17,000, their $17,000, at which point you have neither money, nor skills necessary to make it without money in thus business.  

Yes, bankers will always run a credit report on anyone buying property.  

I did dozens with my banker at $250k-$300k before they started funding $1m+ loans.If your looking to buy during a down turn when no one wants to touch RE with a 10ft pole you had better have strong relationships with your banker and have access to lots of cash to get good deals.A $1m crash and burn in 2008 say a failing townhouse project, your going to need hundreds of thousands to get in and turn it around.

At the time, it was the only feasible way to get the financing done, as it was a portfolio lender from a banker I knew well.

I’m inquiring about banks, bankers and realtors that specialize in multi family properties preferably fourplexes and triplexes (properties that are still considered residential properties).

You will likely still have to make sure your staff and partners are in line, on site inspection when your tenants vacate, spend time keeping in the know of the markets you operate in, meeting your bankers regularly to make sure your wheels are juiced, etc etc.

@David Wild If you have the time the Broward REIA is really great as well.Even though its down south many awesome investors and vendors go to that one.The Palm Beach REIA meets at the ale house on lakes and I have met some great people there as well.If you need General Contractors, home inspectors, attorneys, accountants, mortgage bankers, etc. in Palm Beach county or I can help in any way let me know.Hope all is well,- James
