Part of the challenge is that these lenders are not separately designated or licensed. So if you are looking for private mortgages, you may have to work at it a bit.  Private lending groups are generally made up of experienced individuals, or groups of individuals willing to make private mortgages.The reason you may have to dig to find the right private lender is because they often serve very specific niches (e.g. non-owner occupied rehab loans, or multi-family lending, or commercial lending). The lenders also tend to be smaller companies and work mainly on referral and word of mouth.One of the reasons this lending network was created is because to find a hard money lender (as they are sometimes called) is challenging.
