I formed an LLC with my 2 friends to start investing in a rental property. We are ready to put 20% down and looking for a property around $120k. I talked with one conventional mortgage lender and they directed me to their commercial department as we are 3 members in LLC and can't qualify for a conventional mortgage for some reason. Does anyone have a good referral for the commercial lender in the Wisconsin area?
Any other recommendations for financing are also welcomed.

There are a lot that will do commercial...Paper City, Inlanta, Equitable, Centennial, too many to name. In our private club, I noticed from posts that Waterstone, John Haydin/Eric Wennerstrand from Centennial being used and Ed Goggins from Parkside Home Lending have been used alot recently. Do you live in Wisconsin or are you out of state? I can send you a list of you'd like. Just pm me.

@Vipul Vaghela post this in the Wisconsin forum. There's usually some good locals that monitor the state forums and I think you'll get a better response there. Feel free to keep it up here too just in case, but post there for best results. Thanks!

Hi,
Check out Dave Cooper at Paper City Savings in the Plover/Stevens Point area. We use him and we are about 2 hours away. I know they do not go outside of WI, but not sure if they do Milwaukee of not. Tell him I sent you.
They have an LLC product, that at least pre-corona was 20% down, 25 year amortization and a 10 year lock on the initial rate. Very reasonable closing cost and great to work with.

Hi @Vipul Vaghela - congrats on taking the first step to get started! I recently closed on a duplex I bought in an LLC with a partner similar to what you're describing. We got our financing from Neil Staeck at Educators Credit Union and had a very good experience. PM me if you'd like his contact info.
