Anyone have recommendations on a local bank or credit union to use for a refinance in Baltimore?

Social media can also be super helpful, general posts to your sphere or joining local community groups. 

I'm wondering if I should find someone that is local and see if I can follow what they are doing.Or maybe I should just try some other way to make money with real estate?

@Tije WilkinsHave you actually spoken to any local lenders about the property? 

Beacuse of the great aflux of the capital related to the Fort Liverty I am positive that this market will continue to grow and appreciate and I am positive that sooner you start investing in local market better you can do in the long term. 

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

Understanding local market trends, demographic shifts, and future development plans can provide investors with a competitive edge.

I believe it is more common practice for your local bank’s commercial programs to only offer 5-year terms on 25 year ams.

I occasionally scan the BP forum, but am a first-time poster.On my one SFR rental property, I have a mortgage with a local NE Ohio community bank.

Currently we have executed on this with commercial loans with local banks, but that is not the route we want to continue due to higher down payments ($100,000+) and higher interest rates at WSJ Prime +1 (sometimes +.5).
