subject: Are Portfolio Lenders Still An Option For Successful Real Estate Investors? [print this page] I still believe portfolio lenders are an essential asset to a successful real estate investor. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can only take us so far. They will not do certain loans like non-warrantable condos, non conforming housing, and non habitable. Often times we can still find financing for these types of loans through banks. Not to mention the limit Fannie Mae has on the number of properties we can own.
They biggest key to portfolio lending is building a relationship with the bank through deposit accounts and build relationships with key people. If you can accomplish good enough rapport they will often bend over backwards to help get you deals closed.
We are always looking for good local banks to build relationships with to help our clients be successful. If you have any success stories please share them with us.
