3 Private Money Lenders in 49 Days – Shae Bynes Gettin’ it DONE!

4 Comments »

How would having private money – cash funding to buy property – help your business right now? Would that change everything for you? Would that open up an entire new realm of opportunities?

Well, it did for one of our Private Money Blueprint students.

Shae Bynes, of Good Faith Investing, has created what we like to call, “Private Money Momentum”. And it’s a beautiful thing!

It ‘took her a minute” (in her words) to get private money … but once she roped in 1 private lender, it only took 49 days to get 2 more.

We chat with our students a good bit through Twitter and Facebook. Check out her tweet below about getting her first private lender …

And exactly 49 days later, Shae updates us over on Facebook …

A quick shout out to Mike Henninger, of The Tattooed Investor, for saying, “PMBP rules!!!”

Thanks dude :-)

Big Congrats to Shae for following the Blueprint and getting private money.

If you want to connect with her, here are links to her Facebook and Twitter.

Catch ya later,

~ Patrick

… aka P-Rid

P.S. – If you’re still struggling to close deals in today’s market because you don’t have a way to finance your deals, plug into the Private Money Blueprint System. Many other smart investors already have.

** These private money results are not typical. The “average” person doesn’t take any action, and therefore, gets no private money.
