Hey @Sharnell James,

This is a common request and one you are not alone in wondering about. 

A good place to start would be searching for lenders in your area in the BiggerPockets Hard Money Lenders directory.

At the end of the day, we've researched more than 560 Private Hard Money Lenders Nationwide.

Even with all the significant man hours spent on identifying and categorizing nearly all the sources of private funding for real estate investments, I can say for sure that selecting the right lender for any particular deal can be quite daunting.

Feel free to contact me directly if you would like any more specific details or have any questions.

 Hey thanks I have tried that once before when i was just looking around i will go back up there today because i'm trying to do my first deal this month ! i am so determined !

Before you make you first deal either flipping or wholesaling do you think that it is best to make a LLC ?

So My boyfriend and I have been spotting homes that have been vacant for some time. How do you go about finding who owns the home and see if they want to sell. (The homes have been vacant for months grass is overgrown, you can clearly tell there is no tlc done to the home)

I'm sure he has HML as a keyword alert so it shouldn't take too long for him to respond - but if not, send him a message!

 Thanks a lot I figured !! I will look him

So my boyfriend and I have been in contact with a few HML we read a blog on BP about also locating HML in our area and nationwide, then do pro's and con's then choose. So with that being said do anybody know any good HML? How was working with a HML to help with your 1st flip turned out? (if you don't mind me asking how much was your profit after paying them back)

thanks for the advice everyone. I will look into all. We have thought about live in flips but that will be somewhat hard since we have 3 small children. But I will really consider all and look into everything.
