National Lenders - The Unicorn in the room or is it?

[Samuel DeMass]

Hey BP,

I'm gathering financing options for my first MFH (6 or 7 plex) purchase.

I've used both conventional and portfolio lending up till now, and feel comforable with it.  However, I heard Jeff Greenburg mention that he was able to find lower rates using "National Lenders" vs. Portfolio money, in reference to commercial/multifamily properties.

I'm curious about how to go about seeking out these mystical "National Lenders"

I feel like this knowledge may provide me more options in terms of finding competitive loan options?

I'd really appreciate anyone who could decode the meaning here and help me understand what I'm missing.
