@Robert Del ToroMy first thought is not to use that image on your prospectus.On a more serious note, to find private investors you'll either have to have one in your circle of friends/family/acquaintances, or you'll have to talk to other real estate investors (by actually being helpful, interested, and their friend) and then see if you can find the people who help them finance their deals.I'm not even connected, and I can tell you, it's super irritating to meet someone and have them asking me if a know/have a private investor like, 5 minutes later.Build the relationships, put in the hustle, the money will come once you set the stage.
