It would give you a steady stream of funds that you could make your own choices with.Having those building all spread out like that sounds like a pain.

I understand that it's mostly about the mindset, ie, you want to "present them with an opportunity" vs "ask for money," however I was looking for a little guidance on what to say to initially bring up the opportunity to someone I know.We constantly have deals coming in, however I'd like to at least have a few people that we have formally presented to that have agreed to lend if the deal is right before putting a property under contract with the intention of using private money to fund the deal.From what I've read on the topic, a "script" one could use would start something like:"Hey John, I have an opportunity that you may or may not be interested in, but you might have someone in your circle that may.
