New to working with Hard money and private lenders for a Flip in Asheville, NC

[Lex Layton]

Hey BP crew! I have experience with house hacking and am an interior designer by trade, I am very ready to start flipping homes in my area of Asheville, NC. I have never worked with private money lenders or hard money lenders, and would love some guidance on where to start, who to reach out to, etc. I am having trouble finding REI groups here in AVL so coming to ya'll. Thanks!
