Always hard money lenders at the meetups and normally some wholesalers as well.Just remember your best deals are probably not from wholesalers, but the deals you generate yourself.

Given interest rate changes, property values, and lender requirements, I’m curious about:How were your acquisition and rehab costs compared to your ARV?

See list of lenders here.
