If your a non-investor looking to finance or refinance your personal residence, a bank is ok,,if your an investor, go to a mortgage broker, and fine one that deals mainly with investors.A good broker knows what lender to approach for what type of loan, who does mortgages 5-10, who has an overlay that might cause you problems,,with a bank your working with a bank employee, with a broker, he is working for you to get the loan.A good mortgage broker is a very important part of your team.andy
