Finding Private Money or Lenders

Posted

What are some ways a newbie like myself can find private money/lenders ? I need help because I’m so anxious to start my journey in real estate and it seems like private money may be my only real option to get started.

1. Do some deals. Any way possible. Just get them done. I used hard money. 

2. Build your portfolio and presentation skills. 

3. Tell literally everyone you meet that you're a real estate investor looking to pay great returns for short term investments. 

For me, investors started to crawl out of the woodwork after my 3rd flip.
