@Eric H.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my post. I will definitely reach out to BB&T. Yes, I agree I do need to to get involved with our local REIA which I will make one of my first priorities.

Hey biggerpockets family,

I'm very eager on doing my second deal which will be a conventional loan. The only debt I have is mortgage  (I'm house hacking) and credit card debt. I live in the Georgia area and I'm trying to d business with a small town bank instead of using a big bank again like a credit union. My debt to income ratio is well below 35% but the small bank lender said it was 42% which I know he was inputting false information. Anyone know of a bank I can do business with or out of state for a conventional loan in which I'm looking for 30K.

thanks

Hey Family

I'm trying to use the list source site in search of wholesale deals. Can you all provide some useful tips before I spend monies on unnecessary items. Thanks

@Aaron Francis 

Hey I have access to many properties in the 30k range in different counties in Ga. I graduated from GA Southern University which is near Pooler. Hopefully we partner in many deals.

hey family

I recently purchase my first duplex last year in which I'm currently house hacking form of finance a FHA loan. I'm saving the rental income, my credit score is almost excellent, and my debt to income ratio is low. You all think I should purchase a single family home through a short sale or foreclosure in which I would use a conventional loan and later pull out a second mortgage to purchase more property or purchase another duplex? I'm in fear the duplex might alter my debt to income ratio preventing me from doing more deals.

i agree with @Ryan Hamm any in town local bank will be beneficial for you. The major banks that will be located in other states will not be best for you.
