Hard money and confidence.

[Justin Heitter]

I have recently house hacked my first duplex. I have managed to make it cashflow. Now I am getting the bug to make more moves. I have a friend who is a very competent contractor, so I want to try some flips. My ideal plan is to buy, hold, and rent. BRRRR or something.

My concern/question is this.  I have a guy who can (and does) rehab homes.  I want to do it myself.  Is there a way I can talk to some hard money lenders before the fact, so I can proceed with confidence, before I get something under contract? Basically I want to know that if I get something going I can and will be able to fund it.
