Needing help with loans in Orlando Area

[Naomi Berrios]

Hello! My husband and I are new to investing. We plan to start flipping houses as soon as I have everything mapped out. 

One area I find confusing is financing the flip. I keep seeing, reading,  and hearing about using conventional loans since we have jobs, but then I read that you have to hold onto the houses. Why would they suggest it then? 

And so now I need to change strategies. But I don't know of good private lenders or hard money lenders in the Orlando area that are good. I've Googled a few but would prefer references, or maybe someone on here would like to invest. 

We have a great plan in the works and are open to partners. We have very good credit just not much to put down yet. I'll take any and all references, ideas, tips, etc.
