Private Lending or hard money needed

[Christopher Cosby]

How can you tell if a Private lender is legit...so many scammers out hear, and should you pay origination fees? Need help in finding hard money or private lenders

Quote from @Kevin Luttrell:

2 minutes of online research can tell you if a company is legit or a scam. There are also tons of BP posts about specific HM lenders people have used. 

All hard money lenders charge fees. 

while we all charge fee's the scammers ask for fee's up front.. give you terms that are too good to be true and generally their websites have poor english or were written by someone who is not in the industry and uses terms and phrases real lenders would never use but rookie borrowers dont know the difference.
