Hello,
I'm preparing to purchase my second property in greater Atlanta, GA. I financed my last one through a national lender. I'm looking to get a local bank who will hold my note in-house as I build my portfolio which can hopefully turn into a relationship with them. Any suggestions? I know there was a lender in ATL mentioned on the podcast recently but I can't seem to remember.
I understand with the desire to bank locally but why must they hold the loan?
If your loan is a commercial loan (by commercial I mean any loan not on a primary residence) there is a VERY high likelihood your loan will be sold. We all have hedge funds/investors with an almost insatiable appetite for these loans and nearly every lender I know sells all, most, or some of their paper.
Just a heads up that a local "big bank" is just as likely to sell your loan as I would be.

@Timothy Maloney, that's a good point. While it doesn't matter with this acquisition, I am going to hit the 10-unit limit, at which point I'll need to come up with a solution. Was just trying to get ahead of it.
