How to find private and hard money lenders without BiggerPockets?

[Amadeus Hladun]

I apologize if I put this post in the wrong catagory but I am just feeling like I am sort of in a rut because it has been a full year since I have purchased my first rental property. It turned out to be a suited home that I and my wife are house hacking and have been for a year but I am itching to get into my next rental property but I don't have a down payment saved up because me and my wife got married this year as well. So sadly resources were sort of drained with the purchasing of a property and then getting married in the same year so the only avenue that I know of is private or hard money lending but the porblem is every time I see someone ask about how to find financing for their RE deals they are all met with the same answer... Look on BP. But I am in Canada and there aren't any on BP where I am. So to drill to the base of my question is what other actionable ways are there of finding alternative avenues of financing like hard money or private money?
