Steps for finding Private lending for 1st deal

[Dondi Delk]

Hi, My husband and I are ready to take on our first rehab project. We prefer not to use conventional financing for this project. We are not new to owning investment properties or the world of real estate, but I will admit that I am very green when it comes to OPM /hard money and private lending. Any help with the steps to take to find an investor to finance a 1st time rehab would be much appreciated. Also requirements they look for and things I should look at as red flags.

Thank you so much! Dondi
