What Can I Offer?

[Latisha Haynes]

I can not go the traditional route and take out a loan at a bank for my first investment.  So I decided to explore the route of hard money lenders.   What can I offer to the hard money lender to help me present myself as more of an asset and not a liability?  Should I wait until I have ran the numbers first on a potential property to bring to the table or should I research lenders first and see what they would be looking for?

Private/Hard money lenders please feel free to weigh in.

Thanks
