Is there fear in using private lenders for the first time?
What advice would you give someone looking to find a private lender for the first time to fund their deals whether it be wholesale deals or using them to fund the purchase of multi-family apartments?

Anything you do for the first time, fear will be there. It's normal. It's ok to feel fear. Embrace it; just don't let it hinder you. The beautiful thing is you're not alone. You have a community with BP that have like-minded individuals with the same goals. I would do your due diligence if you haven't yet joined your local real estate investor group join them. I'm sure they look forward to connecting with you and helping you accomplish your goals. I believe in you; you got this. If anything, I'm here for you. Best Wishes.
