Locating Private Lenders on Bigger Pockets
To prove myself in the industry and put skin the game I have been using my own funds to finance my rehabs. In 2021 I have vowed to find private / individuals to lend to me. I want to help others make money and this will allow me to hit my 10-12 property purchase goal this year, too. I planned on buying 12 in 2020 and bought 8, because of Covid and I tied up the funds I had personally. I talk the talk and walk the walk, however, honestly, I am just not an internet / forum knowledgable person. There are so many intelligent, successful people here it gives me hope others can help me perfect a strategy to connect with people on BP that want to lend in first position ASAP.
