How did YOU go about raising you first private funding?

[Daniel Mendez]

Good evening BP,

I am looking to purchase my very first deal this summer and I want to acquire the property by acquiring private funding either from friends or family.

My question to all of you is how did you go about acquiring your first private funding? Did you already have a property in mind to present when you asked for the money?

Any tips would be awesome! 

Thanks in advance
