'New York hard money lender' would be a reasonable starting point.If you've exhausted those above options, then you might, as mentioned, try looking at individual private money lenders, financing the deal out of your own pocket, or focusing on deals where the loan amounts are higher to entice a wider pool of lenders.Hope this helps,Michael

Essentially, all phone numbers should enter you workflow with the assumed status of "undialed", after you call a phone number, you should record the result, and that result should forward the progression of truly exhausting the lead.   

@Nathanael GreeneI found six to be utterly exhausting.
