Finding a good Lender

[Lamont Hudson]

As Im searching for deals I get anxious to place a an offer on a home to resale. But my dilemma is that I would rather have the funding first if posssible so if I go in on an REO I will have the proof of funds and know exactly what type of home market I need to start investing in or should I find some investors who are in search of investments and be sort of a wholesaler or property finder to raise funds. I really want to start now I know I can do this without screwing myself and ruining a business relationship before it starts.

I might of made my first mistake by placing an offer without having backing. Has anyone have to pay for an appraiser before getting funding from a lender without a garuantee of funds? 

I want in so bad lol
