Best Lenders for first time investors

[Jermaine Gourdine]

Hello BP,

I am a new investor who is looking to purchase my first investment quad in a few months.  I learned from books and other sources that it is actually better to get mortgage loans from private banks and credit unions.  Is this true?  If so, why are these better options for first time investors?  Also, can anyone recommend a good lender to use in Atlanta, GA?  Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thank You
