How can I save Money to get a Hard Money Loan

[Chris Colvin]

Hey everyone. I have been looking in the market for a house to fix and flip. I see that I may have to go with hard money loans. I do have some questions about how to save up some money to have the money for the 10% down. I am looking for around 10,000$. I have found a house but I'm stuck on the money before I put in a contract. 

I understand that I can do a private investor but how can I locate one of them. Please help!!!!!

Thanks Chris.
