Private Lending Strategies

[Brittany Trevino]

Hey Everyone!

I'd really like some feedback on different strategies everyone has used to obtain private lending or a partner who brings on capital. 

Some background on me, I am a Construction Superintendent and have overseen subdivision development to single family demo/rebuilds, I also oversee renovations for work and have managed my own renos. I have 1 rental and one personal home. I have the knowledge and deals, but I just can't seem to find anyone to help fund or invest in my deals. The people I spent time creating relationships with backed out because they aren't comfortable investing in today's market. How have you handled these types of situations? I attend a small meetup bi-weekly, I talk to local investors, I read books on networking and raising capital, I just don't understand where I am lacking. 

I greatly look forward to hearing your advice. Thank you!
