Working for my first deal

Hi biggerpockets friends. I'm new to investing and trying to learn and do as much as i can to get into the game and get my first deal under my belt. I've been studying hard and working on implementing the techniques and strategies that I've learned. I'm doing a lot of research and finding properties that are being foreclosed on, been foreclosed on, vacant, FSBO, and some that need some work but are listed pretty low. I'm looking to connect with a few good people to help me figure out what I'm doing wrong or how to proceed into the next phase to actually get a deal under contract.

I'm really studying hard and figuring out how to analyze the deals to see if they are even worth it. I'm learning a lot from the different articles and poddcast found in biggerpockets, however, i feel like there's something im missing. I'm willing to take advice/orders and work to learn. I would love to work hard for a good investor just so i can get my feet wet and start doing my own deals.

I guess what I'm really on here looking for is just a little advice to get me through this 'sticking point' or whatever it is that has kept me from getting my first real estate deal going. would anyone be willing to help me with some advice, maybe an analysis of some properties to look at so i can get a bit more familiar on what to look for and whats a good deal and whats not. I am willing to help out in return for anything i receive. i learn fast and will do research or anything that will help another out and teach me something in the process.

I see all these properties that could be potential deals but i'm not sure how to advance and get the necessary funding or whatever i need to get the deals signed up. maybe i need to focus on finding buyers that will buy from me when i have something. Any help would be greatly appreciated by this eager newbie investor. and thank you to anyone that is taking time to read this and consider helping me. i know time and energy is valuable so i feel in your debt already.
