For those experienced in private lending: 

This question was posed to me in my membership group from an investor:

What strategies have been most effective for scaling your loan volume to $5M+ per month? I'm particularly interested in what tactics people have implemented for sourcing quality deals (not the I need 100% financing bs)

Would you:

1. Hire someone? (if so, salary or commission or both)

2. Expand Broker network?

3. Social Media / Paid ads?

Also would you focus on a specific target market you are familiar with and know the comps like the back of your hand and have boots on the ground ?

Looking forward to your insights
