Hard Money Lenders, what do they look for in potential partners?

[Shannon Oakley]

Good Afternoon! I’m new to this forum, and there’s a lot of information here! I’ve worked in construction on and off for my father for over 10 years, and have seen the ins and outs of what it takes to flip a commercial and residential property from that perspective. However, I’d like to dive into flipping my own homes!

What do hard money lenders look for when choosing someone to invest in? Should I find an investor first? Should I find the property first? Would it be wise to choose a rental or commercial property to invest in during these trying times? I’m eager to learn!!! Any insight and info would be more than helpful. It seems as if this is something you would have to just do!
