Help!!!! Desperately seeking legit hard money lenders in Michigan

I am very new to real estate, my best friend is the one that turned me to Dean and the world of real estate.Like most, I thought that a traditional 9-5 job working for someone was my destiny,I was trying to get my nursing career started so that I could provide a stable future for my daughter( I have a five year old and I am a single mother). I believe that things come to us for a reason and I believe that I had crossed paths with my best friend and real estate for a reason,maybe nursing is not what God has planned for me. I am learning fast and finding the great deals is not the issue I am coming up against, I seem to have an "eye" for spotting great deals in fact I have 3 great ones, the problem I am coming up against is funding. Does anyone know of any legitimate hard money lenders that do business in Michigan????The returns are going to be 100% plus 50% of the profit to be made
but it is so hard finding motivated investors. Traditional bank loans does not seem to be the ticket for me but I was hoping that someone out there can help me in this "wall" I find myself in. If you are reading this Dean, invest in me and my partner(my best friend) and we will make you proud.
