Private Capital Fundraising Questopns

[Bryan Clement]

So I have a few targets for private capital for my next few deals. Do I get the property(ies) under contract first or do I see if my private capital sources would be interested first? I would have a hard time finding bank financing if the private capital fell through as my credit was shot down after I closed on my first mortgage (little credit history) any suggestions? How do other people find this solution? Thanks!
