Finding the money guy

[Shanequa J.]

How do you find hard money lenders or private investors? I've attended my local real estate meetings, posted it on their website, searched Craigslist, and created Craigslist ads. I'm coming to the conclusion that my area just doesn't have any or people do not want to share their money guy. Good deals have come my way with direct mail but I've had to pass due to no cash. Any suggestions?
