Hard Money Loans

[HiJack]

Hello all, I would like to know what kind of resources some of you investors use in acquiring hard money

loans. I have a couple individuals in mind which I have not contacted yet. My purpose in acquiring hard

money loans is to put downpayments on investment property. Also, to cover loan costs and to have

contingency money available for things like covering expenses in case of vacancies or negative cashflow,

etc.
