BP world,

I am looking to get financing for several upcoming deals, however finding honest and fair private financing can be a bit of a challenge and convoluted.  I've spoken with many private lenders, many of whom appear to be professional and legit, but I have also spoken with others that appear suspect.  Who do you recommend for private lenders for both purchases and purchase, rehab, and hold acquisitions?  I'm looking at developing a long-term partnership that will be mutually beneficial.  Any guidance on private money lenders would be very much appreciated.  As of right now, all of my real estate acquisitions will be in Maine.

Thank you in advance BP members!
