I bought an REO for a great price, rehabbed and had it rented for a full year before the bank would even look at it. 

There is a local bank who can loan on this.

And if a big bank won't give me another mortgage (no idea yet..), are there alternative options? 

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, but especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

Decide for sure what your exit strategy is and have a backup plan in case something changes like interest rates going up or banks stop lending.

depends on location, in a city they should be within .5 mi, in a suburb 1 mile and rural  5 miles but unique properties can be stretched further, I have done thousands of BPO's for banks, the rules were 3 listed and 3 solds, within 20% speck and similar condition, and make appropriate adjustments for differences, there is more art than science to it.

I refinanced back in 2016 and took out 35k to do a flip in Las Vegas which did pretty well which left me with 60k in the bank and 120k loan.
