Down payment help fix and flipping!

[Jonathan Norris]

I am new to the game and currently reside in Lancaster, CA, Los Angeles County.  I am looking to begin fixing and flipping homes in my area.  My biggest obstacle is finding money to give a down payment to receive a hard money loan.  I need to get my feet wet, but can't seem to break into the game.  I spoke with lenders that said lets try again next year but for me that is not an option.  The game begins now.  Can anyone provide me any advice on locating private lenders and/or lenders that will provide 100 percent of purchase and rehab costs?  Thanks in advance.
