Does BP have a forum for connecting with Private Lenders?

[Clarence Browne]

Is there a forum for connecting with private lenders on BP?  I'm working my local connections but would like to expand my search a bit.  Any advice on best places to connect?  Do you guys typically just work personal connections?

keep in mind private lenders are just that.. finding them on the internet is going to put you square into the sights of fake lenders who are out to steal your money.. they do it by approving you to fast and getting you to send them money up front.. they are pretty good at it.. 

you find private lenders through meetups and association with individuals you know.
