In need of a private lender

[Brittany Trevino]

Hey Everyone!

I had an investor that was serious until it was time to make the transaction. They don't actually have the capital they claimed they had. 

1) How often has this happened to y'all and what have you done to prevent it?

2) I'm new to private lending and I'm having a hard time finding a private lender. 

Everyone says to network and I agree but lack creative ways to meet people. I am new to the area and my first meet up here isn't until next week.

What are some creative ways you found lenders or partners?
