Investing/Finding Private Lenders

[Timothy Francisco]

Hi everyone, 

My wife and I are beginning real estate investors in Utica, NY. So far we bought a duplex in 2016 which we live in one side and rent the other. In 2017 we bought and renovated another duplex which is rented out. Now we are looking to buy more multi-family properties:2-4 units. We would prefer not using traditional financing if we can help it. Problem is we don't have many in our inner circle that we know of at this point for private loans. So, we are looking for some advice on how to find them. Thanks!
