Pick a target market by understanding your loan capacity ( 1000 or 1million) 4. Be 1000% transparent and upfront about what you do and what you can offer them and what you expect from them 5. Build a connection with other lenders and refer to build goodwill - Example if you focus on cash business and a real estate guy comes in, then refer him to someone else 6. Make sure the assets being used as collateral have insurance just incase 7. If lending to someone that hs a business, you’ll want him to sign a good guy guarantee so if his business fails then his still liable for the cost
