Facebook is the last place you want to find private money. whats unfortunate is real estate professionals are still advertising to us newbies Facebook is the place to find the lender.What’s even more unfortunate, @April Smalls, is that newbies are falling for it.A few years ago, someone created a fake website that impersonated our company.
