Question regarding finding cash buyers as soon as possible

[Ishmael Vir]

I read that hard money lenders can supply wholesalers with investors and flippers/rehabers for your deal because in the end they get to make money from your deal by having the investor take a loan. 

How would a wholesaler go about this? I mean calling up and asking for investors can't be the way to go right? Isn't there a consumer's privacy rights that prohibit this?

Anybody know of great hard money lenders? I live in Columbus, Ohio. Should I look for lenders specifically in Ohio or should I go national?
