@Mike Pritchett I did speak to Advia CU about it and they were open to the idea but I haven't done any loans with them.  I don't want to recommend them without having used them for that purpose but you might try there.

    Hey Mike,

    I'm also in the cold calling mode.  I haven't found any others yet but will let you know if I do.

    Ask around your local REIA and see who other investors are using. One thing I've done is do a check with ListSource or DataQuick on banks who have loaned money on non-owner occupant properties in the area and price range I've bought in. Then I call them as they are at least willing to consider those properties. It narrows down the search and I've found two or three banks that way.

    Use the to find active institutions. Active FDIC status, Kalamazoo Banks:
    1st Source Bank
    Chemical Bank
    Comerica Bank
    Fifth Third Bank
    First National Bank of Michigan
    Flagstar Bank, FSB
    JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association
    Mercantile Bank of Michigan
    Old National Bank
    PNC Bank, National Association
    The Huntington National Bank

    Add for Battle Creek:
    Southern Michigan Bank & Trust

    Add for Grand Rapids:
    Bank of America, National Association
    Evolve Bank & Trust
    First Community Bank
    First National Bank of America
    Independent Bank
    Macatawa Bank
    Northpointe Bank
    The Northern Trust Company
    United Bank of Michigan
    Wells Fargo Bank, National Association
    West Michigan Community Bank

    Then you can pick the banks that only operate in Michigan, since that's the best place to start:
    Macatawa Bank (FDIC # 34618)
    Flagstar Bank, FSB (FDIC # 32541)
    First National Bank of Michigan (FDIC # 58259)
    Mercantile Bank of Michigan (FDIC # 34598)

    inst. all RE loans % RE of total loans
    34618 798426 64%
    32541 7549074 75% *
    58259 269629 78% -
    34598 1659287 69% -

    (Dollar figures in thousands)  * = high in 1-4 family residential, - = low in 1-4 family residential

    To do yourself, go to the fdic.gov site, then BANK DATA & STATISTICS, then Bank Find. https://research.fdic.gov/bankfind/
    Go to the Details and Financials to get their Assets and Liabilities report for the latest quarter, and Net Loans and Leases to get ratios of 1-4 family to total loans. They also break out loans by commercial, new construction, multifamily, etc. If a bank If the bank loans under a category (e.g. multifamily) are high as a percentage of the All real estate loans, then you know that you have a good target.

    That's a start.

    It's easy now compared to 2008-09. I literally talked to many dozens of banks, face to face, and had some throw me out. Had nothing to do with me or the loan proposition.

    One thing I'm sure of. If you don't contact them, you won't get a loan.
