Networking with local real estate investor groups can also help identify lenders active in your area.

However, I do rely on my trusted network of local professionals for different parts of the process.

I happen to be looking for gap funders myself for a number of my house flip projects in Houston, TX and finding gap funders or any kind of private money involves a lot of networking and putting myself out there to meet potential lenders.

This is why we network with other real estate investors - kind of like what you are doing here!

I would also add that you join your local REIA chapter (Real Estate Investor Association) as it will allow you to network with other STR owners and get more location-specific information. 

I have a large network plus in depth knowledge of the process to get a project like this off the ground. 

Hey Elizabeth, this is a great site to network.

That is why everyone here is emphasizing relationships and networking.

Let’s cut through the nonsense: this isn’t about networking.

I’m interested in networking and meeting up as well.
