Looking for HML or PML in the MD area

[Kendra Rodwell]

I am looking to start investing in real estate, specifically flipping homes. I have been reading articles and books and listening to podcast about the home flipping process. I am ready to pull the trigger but the only thing standing in my way is the money necessary to fund my first project. I have some savings that I plan to use for the "quiet" cost of the loan but I will need a loan to purchase the property and fund the rehab. 

Does anyone have any hard money lenders or private money lenders in the Maryland area that you would recommend? I have called a number of lenders but I would rather go with a company based off a recommendation. There are a lot of horror stories surrounding these types of lenders so I want to make sure that I am doing my due diligence. 

Thanks in advance!
