Hard money property
I am looking to try and get my first fix and flip property. I was wondering if I want to use hard money do I try to get funding first or find a property then get funding? I've herd you should get the property under contract first but what happens if I get it under contract and can't secure the hard money? I want to make sure I go about this right and don't waste anyone's time.
