Hard money lender near Southern Indiana/Louisville

[Robert Keller]

Hello awesome BPers,

First, my wife and I have been spending time analyzing deals and are wanting to act. It makes sense to me to find a hard money lender in the area who has done the flips, holds, and so on who we can partner with. They have an even better grasp of the locale and the right deals to move on, contractors to use, etc. We haven't connected with the local REIA, yet. I just wanted to ask online if anybody know someone who does it in our area. And, for anyone who's done this, is my thinking correct? I feel it's a safer, smarter move to go with a local private lender.

Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Hastily read on the app. 

Yeah, local for many reasons, but one example is if you ever got into a jam, local people know local people.  Best of luck.
