I need Hard Money now!

Should I find a good hard money source first and then find the commercial property because then you can move quickly and not miss out on great deals?This is a good idea, however most Hard Money and Private lenders do not want to talk unless you have a deal. Investors should be at least making contact with lenders before they have a deal. However, having a good deal in hand is the best time to make new contacts. Having a good deal to present shows legitimacy. The best way is to be prepared and have all your financials lined up and paperwork ready when you find a deal.
