Issues with hard money loans

[Alex Trinh]

Hey guys, 

My buddy and I are trying to start out fixing and flipping but can't seem to get things going. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on lenders. We are looking to do hard money but we keep running into several issues. Almost every lender we've looked at requires us to have an LLC, they also require the use of license contractors. We both have background in construction but neither of us are licensed or expert by any means. Are they're any lenders out there that will work with first timers without being an llc and without being licensed? Or does anyone have any recommendations on how we can't get this started?
