Looking to Scale and Network

[Toure Smith]

Hi All!

I'm currently looking to acquire more deals and would appreciate any tips on finding legitimate private lenders. I have vetted and used contractors over the years, but the only thing holding me back is funding.

Also, if anyone is currently investing or looking to invest on the south and southeast sides of Chicago, please feel free to connect. I’d love to answer any questions, brainstorm, and help wherever I can. I currently own a duplex and a sfh (my primary resi) on the south side of Chicago.

@Toure Smith finding a private lender isn't that hard, but most of the time the private money is pretty expensive. Is that the issue you are running into? If you dig in on the south or west side, you should be getting deals that are distressed enough to just use regular hard/bridge/private money that is expensive.
