Beyond the Forum
BiggerPockets is an incredible community for retail real estate investors. Their lender finder tool is designed to match new investors with conventional, FHA, and portfolio lenders by having users submit their deal info as a lead.
But for professional deal-makers in the private credit space, lead matching isn't enough. Private lending operates on relationship-based trust. You don't just need a name; you need to know their track record, their closing speed, and how they behave post-commitment.
