In this video, I share a critical lesson that transformed my real estate investing business: why you must find your hard money lender before you ever look for a property.
Most investors struggle because they lock up a contract and then scramble for funding, often getting rejected because the deal doesn't fit a lender's specific criteria.
I explain how to reverse engineer this process by discovering a lender's "sweet spot", their preferred zip codes, price ranges, and renovation limits, before you start shopping.
By aligning your property search with your lender's exact desires, you eliminate rejection, save months of wasted effort, and guarantee your deals get funded.
Watch now to learn how to secure capital first and make your real estate success inevitable.
