Need Help On Private Money Lending

[Porter Rembold]

Good afternoon BP fam! Since I became a member, I’ve been so busy. I haven’t been able to keep up and get on here to put in the time. Last year God blessed my wife and I with hitting the 25 door mark at 25 years old… Soon after that we were blessed to know we were pregnant! We had to remodel 6 units, remodel our whole house (baby safety)(low on money) and now we have had our baby girl! She is now a beautiful 11 days old and I went back to work on the job site. I now realize I need to up my game and go outside my own comfort zone in real estate investing and drive to be home more with my family. I want to implement private money and have listened to all BP podcasts 2x through. Multiple times on the private money ones. I do plan on buying a duplex here shortly from a friend as all my properties are leveraged at 80%. But after that… I need to grow!

Basically I am looking for a friend or a community to help me in getting started in my private money lending career.
Words of advice? What to do first? Do’s/Don’ts? I’m ready to expand and become a full time real estate investor and do better for my family! 
Thank you all for everything you say and do! 
God bless🙏
