I was just wondering whether most investors find the deals first, get it under contract, and then find funding, or if they find funding first and then find the deal to get under contract.So far I've had a few other potential JV deals approach me and it seems like most people are getting deals under contract first and then reaching out for funding, but I'm wondering what happens if the investor has a deal under contract but fails to find sufficient funding for the project.

Reach out if I can help you in any way.

We had some trouble reaching the borrower at first.

Reach out to at least two other investors in the area and get their feedback. 

Every time you find a property you think you like you have to reach out to a local expert.

There is a BP group meeting that @Bernadeau C. hosts if you want to reach out to him. 

I have the bank information and intend to reach out to them to see what information I can dig up.

Feel free to reach out if you ever want to bounce ideas or numbers off of me, as it sounds like we are in the same stage of learning this.

Additionally, the real estate company who sold it to me reached out and said they would be willing to buy it for 620k.

Real estate seems to be the best vehicle to financial freedom, and to allow the time for more meaningful work such as volunteering or being more involved in the community.I've reached out to a few local investors to make some connections, but hope to continue to expand that circle.
