Where to look for private funding?

[Logan Padilla]

I'm a new real estate agent in Virginia and wanting to get into flipping distressed properties. I'm watching insane deals and opportunities slip through my fingertips because I lack the available funds to buy these $50,000-$150,000 properties requiring $20,000-$60,000 in repairs. I'm excited and would love to have a private money lender on speed dial to call that trusts me but again, being new I totally get the liability. Any recommendations on how to get this ball rolling as far as the financing side? I have decent equity on my home and a small chunk of change but not enough to cover the scope of work and projects I had in mind.
