Word of mouth will travel faster than you think. Ask around and if you get the contact of someone, call and ask them to lunch. Explain to them your plan (make sure you have a plan). Last thing any investor wants to  hear is........."I want to be in real estate...... then a long pause of silence". Have a plan, it's not going to be full proof but it proves to them that your thinking and trying. I would recommend you have a 1 year,5 year and 10 year plan. What type of properties your going to focus on, etc. Trust me, they'll open up to you and will hold your hand without you asking. 

Oh yea, don't forgot to pay for their lunch....best investment you'll make!

It sounds like you have what can be the hardest part done (investors) ..If you don't mind me asking, what type of flipping are you looking to do? ( straight rehab, wholesale, fix and hold etc)  I usually can find the property then have to nail down one of my investors if I'm not putting my own cash in.  I have different ways of finding the properties based on what my end goal is and if you give a bit of an idea of what you want your end result to be I'd be happy to share what I'd do if it were me.

@Joshua Degraffenreaidt  I'll buy inventory in Sanford. In fact, I'm closing on a purchase in Sanford today. We'll purchase a F/F or a B/H.
