Searching for hard money

[Taylor Christian]

I am trying to put together a raw land deal. I am not completely new to real estate and have a fairly large portfolio. Have only done buy and hold up until this point. I am planning on moving into land development. I currently do excavation/forestry mulching/etc. I stumbled across a deal that I believe will be a very good “mini” development, to purchase, clean up, and subdivide a small parcel in the county. I paid cash to build my most recent house and am somewhat cash poor. I have good income and credit but at not wanting to go through a bank, partially because of time and partially because I want to make a cash offer on the place I’m looking at. The property is not a large property but it is very raw. This will basically be a flip on a raw property. Purchase, clear, clean up, improve, subdivide, sell.

My question is, how do I go about finding the right hard money lender for this kind of project?

Also, what are reasonable terms for something like this?
