FORTYTHREE WAYS TO FIND A GOOD LENDER
HAVE YOU EVER tried to list every place YOU might find a money lender? We have! See our list below.
Please note that some of the loans and lenders listed below will not be the right "fit" for every prospective borrower. Every loan has a different purpose and every loan seeker has different needs and objectives.
1. Find lenders' ads in your local and metropolitan newspapers under "Loans", "Mortgages," financing or funding. You're likely to find that some lenders place small classified ads and others place large display ads (ads with borders around them). Be sure to check the Sunday paper because it often has the largest number of ads of the week.
2. Look under "Funds/Funding Available" and "Money Available" in your IWS Newsletter
3. Look for "Money Available", "Financing Available" and other similar headings and categories. such as ads in industry magazines or other sources related to your subject. For example, if you need a loan to buy an airplane, look in aviation magazines such as "American Pilot" and in Internet news groups that discuss buying and selling small planes.
4. Search for "funding available," "financing," "lending," "loans" and related terms on the World Wide Web. Use Google or another good search engine. Generally, when you run these searches, it's best to limit your search to your city, state or region. For example, if you want to find lenders in Ohio, your search might look like: "real estate lenders Ohio" or "real estate lenders OH"
