Finding Private Lenders

[Chris Hicks]

Good Morning Everyone! I am posting here to find out how any of you have found private lenders. I do not have anyone within my immediate circle that could lend me money for real estate and after joining a lot of groups on Facebook and looking around, it seems like most "private money lenders" on there are scams. Could anyone shed some light on how they obtained financing for their deals or reached out to potential lenders? Thank you in advance!
