Private or Hard Money in Baltimore? Messy Wholesale Deal!

[Kenneth Futrell]

Good Morning BP,

I have this property that initially I was going to wholesale but after speaking more with the seller I found out that this is a short sale property. Being my first deal, I dont want to wholesale it because of what I heard about people getting in trouble for short sale fraud by wholesaling short sales. I still think this would be a great deal though if I can bring in a partner to fix and flip it. I am wondering what are some good private or hard money lenders in Baltimore for beginners so that I can get an idea of how much cash is needed to go through with this deal?
