Any recommendations on private money or hard money lenders out there for a newbie??
Where have you looked, so far?
There is a Hard Money Lenders tab under Investor Resources to the left of this post.
I would suggest start by posting your DEAL details locally first.
I’ve been known to help lending on occasion!
On the plus side you’ll get feed back telling you if your deal is a good one or one to walk away from.
All the Best
Bknowles, send me a PM.
There are several lists online for “Private Lenders”, one can be found at myhousedeals.com and these are listed per state. Join as many REI clubs in your local area as you can. Most good clubs have lists of private money lenders who are members. Good luck!
