Hello BiggerPockets Community,I’m currently in the process of expanding my real estate portfolio and am looking to establish relationships with hard money lenders who can offer the most competitive and lowest rates available in the market.I am a business owner with $1.5 million in verifiable funds.

My goals are to provide financial freedom for my future family and establish a sustainable safety net if physical limitations prevent me from retiring from my current W-2s.

Each step my cash took along the path of my plan was established based on how (strategy used), where (market invested in), and when (cash needed to move onto the next deal (the plan).Each step required a specific amount of added cash exiting the deal as required by the next step, so I did deals that may have a cash profit that someone else wouldn't have done because they were looking at a disconnected result.

I am keen on establishing connections with fellow professionals such as entrepreneurs, builders, real estate agents, and architects operating in this domain.
