Recommending easy-to-work-with Atlanta lenders

[Tony C.]

Hi BP,

I'm looking to obtain a preapproval for a Midtown Atlanta condo @ 30 yr fixed. Would you recommend any lenders who are easy to work with or any local lenders in the area? I'm not a big fan of borrowing from the big banks due to the Fannie rules (I'd like to do a < 20% down payment with minimal red tape). I guess what I may be looking for is a portfolio lender and so I'm considering First Landmark Bank, which is in the area of the condo and may be a portfolio lender.

What are your guys thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks!
