Using Private Lenders

[Alexis Gonzalez]

I'm hoping to get some insight from others in the community who have experience with private lenders. Has anyone worked with Allen Capital LLC (based out of Dallas, TX)? I've recently started to look into possibly using a private lender, but not 100% sure on how to screen them. This one looks more professional (both in the terms information and website) than others I've received information from. However I'm hesitate with them all wanting to transfer fund into a personal account. The goal is to acquire my first buy and hold residential home in northeast Ohio. Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated.
