I just posted a similar question for Grand Rapids a few days ago. It was suggested to check out  the icba.org site which allows you to do a search for community banks nationwide.

I compiled a list from there and will begin calling those. Good luck! 

Cool! I did not know that. Thanks @Tram Ambers! I'll check it out.

@Justin Workman Thanks! I'm not local but I'm in the process of building my presentation for banks and then will be reaching out. I mainly want to know of refi options after a potential purchase. 

@Tim VandenToorn Thanks again Tim. Good talking with you yesterday and I look forward to talking more soon. 

Anyone have any investor friendly portfolio lenders in the Grand Rapids area? 

Or any investor friendly local banks you like to work with? 

Thanks! 

Thanks @Jon Klaus. I drove and walked East Austin w/investors back in 2007, and thought people were crazy buying there. I was a newbie at the time. But in looking at Trinity Groves online, was telling my wife how it seemed like East Austin back then. 

Hey @Jon Klaus, just curious if you still feel the same way about West Dallas? Saw your comment while researching it. Someone had suggested it as a potential nice turn around area. 

Thanks Curt. I've reached out to them and let 'em know you sent me. 

Need the roof and HVAC inspected on a 9,000 sq ft retail building. Looking for a contractor that can do it or an inspector. 

Have any recommendations? 

Thanks in advance!

That was what I was afraid of @Dave Foster. Thanks for your response. Doesn't seem the way we want to go as far as the loan. Think we'd want the partner on the title.  I know they'd want their share of the cashflow rather than just earn a return on a loan. 

Say, I'm selling a house for 200K but I owe 80K on it. 

As I understand it I have to reinvest 200K to complete the 1031 Exchange. 

Could I take the 120K of my money + 30K of my cash + 50K from a partner?

I guess what I'm asking is does that 200K have to come completely from my funds? Or can a portion come from a partner? 

Thanks in advance!
