I had the pleasure of speaking to Alex May from Connected Investors. Alex works at Connected Investors which offers a networking platform for investors and lenders in the real estate space. Alex works in business development at Connected Investors.

Alex provides valuable information about the basics of what hard money is and the advantages of using hard money. Also she goes into depth on how to be able to build relationships. If you are feeling tapped out with a traditional lender and have maxed out the number of traditional loans that you can have you might want to check this episode out. Hard Money could fill in the space in your real estate portfolio where traditional lending leaves off. It’s an additional tool in your tool box for real estate investing.

Also Alex provides valuable information on networking and how to distinguish yourself from other individuals when trying to establish a relationship. One of the key takeaways that she mentioned were that when networking you are building a relationship and a friendship. When cold calling or cold emailing someone reach out to them and comment on something that you genuinely enjoyed about the individual or company. Doing this will allow you to differentiate yourself from the other hundreds or thousands of people contacting this company or individual.
