Can I do cashout refi using a non-conventional loan / portfolio lender from a regional bank?

The lending has come back in favor of condos in recent years in Philadelphia with local and regional bank support.

I’m a full-time public school teacher and am looking to dive into real estate part-time in the Eastern, NC region – Raleigh, Knightdale, Zebulon, Rocky Mount, or Tarboro cities.

The slowdown in rent growth is due to a divergence in low vs high rent growth and there are substantial regional variations of high end rent growth.

Thanks and looking forward to hearing all your good, bad, and ugly stories no matter what region you've dealt with them in!!! 

If there was some way to get two or three properties with the funds and credit we currently have right now, then it would work out.Thus, I recently posted this.If you want to team up in any way, I'm willing to meet over lunch sometime since we share similar problems in the same region.

Cedric Moore I would interested in MH leads in a Texas especially south and southeast region.

I used this little brochure to compare the banks that I called:http://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/201204_CFPB_HEL...I called 3 national banks, 3 regional banks and 3 credit union to see whose HELOC program would work for me. 

I am an Australian investor working in Michigan region but have not any any such luck with the banks.

Or at the very least call more local/regional banks.
