Top things to do/know before buying with hard money?

[Gabrielle Simmons]

I have been studying real estate for about 6 months, lots of books, videos, podcasts, meetings and analyzing deals. I'm ready to get my first property and considering using hard money or private lending to buy a flip/Brrr property in Houston TX, as I know a wholesaler in the area. Are there any tips you can give me on what to do to prepare for this jump. Business plans or documents to have on hand to present to lendor/wholesaler?
