Its a relationship business. My private lenders have been friends and family and some lenders cultivated by my property manager who trust him to not have them make loans to a dufus. Go to your local REIA meetings. Find out also about self-directed IRA and note-buyer meet ups. Network and keep networking. Talk about what you're doing. Talk about your past deals. It's not about using specific words and language. It's about the deals and your track record and their confidence in you to deliver as promised.
