Investors on Craigslist?

[Logan Harrell]

I know I am new to this business, but I've been searching for a private money lender in my area. I saw someone posted on Craigslist they were looking to invest. I just wanted to ask what questions should I ask them/what would help me in knowing they are for real if I contact them? I've got an inside scoop on a house that will be coming available in the next couple weeks and I am about 99% sure the people would just sell to me and not even list(they are my bosses). Thanks for any tips and tricks on this!
