Avoiding private money lender scammers
Hi all-
I've been looking to get a bridge loan from private money lenders but have noticed there are a ton of scammers online claiming to be legit. Any advice on how to find actual private money lenders? Also, would a legit lender ask for money upfront? (I'm guessing no, but I'm also new to using private lenders).
Thanks for your help!
