First time flipper looking for HML financing!!!

[Sarah Bristow]

I have $50k to play with, I have a partner with 20+ years experience in construction (wide skillset), I myself have 10+ years experience in construction management (office and on site), HUGE network of people and businesses to utilize.... crappy stuff happened and I'm working with a 650ish credit score. Was going to go with Do Hard Money until I found a thread on here about them and checked their BBB complaints, so now I'm back to square one with financing. Looking to flip in North Carolina and Virginia. Any suggested HMLs???

Three good starting points...

1. The Network --> Hard Money Lenders tab on BiggerPockets where you can filter by state.

2. Speaking with local investors that you already know and asking for referrals.

3. Attending local REIA meetings and networking with HMLs. Oftentimes, they will have a rep there, but if not, then you can meet other local investors there and ask them for referrals.
