Where to start in finding a private money lender?

[Robert Akens]

Hi, I am fairly new to Real Estate Investing and to post here on BP. I have a newly formed contracting company in the Baltimore MD metro area that I would like to primarily devote to home improvement for the sake of real estate investing than just being a traditional handyman. Does anyone have any advice as to where to find investors or where I can find like minded people in my area? Thanks for any help that can be offered
