New Investor needs help with new property

[Michael Paul Kennedy II]

I am a new investor looking to break into the market of fix and flips as well as wholesaling properties. I have a few properties with high equity in them that I am looking to purchase with a hard money lender. I plan on opening a LLC for each individual property and split the LLC 50/50 with my lender What is the process for finding the lenders? Are lenders ok with a first position lien on the property and Me doing the work?(17 years of construction experience and work with a company that does fix and flips). What books should I read to educate myself better? Mike
