I bought this property with a private interest free loan from a friend. the person i bought it from need cash fast so i offered them a low cash offer and they accepted.I had enough money saved up to rehab the house with my savings.

I mean to me this is nothing money. 

I see hard money lending as just part of the cost when doing these kinds of deals.

There is definitely more too it than just the money that goes in.

Quote from @Shayan Sameer: Tapping into the equity is always great when it comes to recycling money quickly as you would a flip.

@Jeanette Land why don't you canvas your network to find a money partner?

This is a self directed RRSP or TFSA account that allows you to lend your money out to people with the backing of their mortgage for a high interest rate. 1st, 2nd, 3rd mortgages, down payments, refinances, flipping or renovation money.

And, for those people who have more time than money, they can put in sweat equity into directly owned real estate.

Otherwise, you'll have to go for a hard money lender and expect 12%+.
