Because I don't use partners or lenders, mine is geared differently than yours may be.  

I believe that you have a couple of choices.1) If you can get the property under contract at a discounted rate, you could wholesale it to another investor for a fee.2) You could talk with the vendor and see it they are willing to do a seller finance with a smaller down payment, using whatever you have left over to try and repair. or even talk with the vendor and see if they want to partner with you.3) find some one you trust who has what you are missing and partner up.4) pass this by, knowing that you will find another deal, and gear yourself up (fix credit/no money issues) with the goal to fix and flipsome basic ideas. you can search the site for more forums on what you need.Good luck!

BiggerPockets.com is Proud to Announce our new line of gear designed for the real estate investor in mind!

It felt like everything (and I mean everything) was geared towards the upsell at the end--the advanced training.

When do I switch gears from learning how RE works to applying that knowledge to make money?

Are there any suggestions for alternative books/courses perhaps more geared towards rehabbers?

We've had some in the early years of the site, but they never really caught on. . . .You can check out the BiggerPockets Gear shop.You may have inspired me to give it another shot!

Sounds good to me, thank you for the advice.To change gears, I have been contacting FSBO's on Craig'slist to test out the waters.

After that, we're switching into high gear. ;)

I know there are a few people out there that have custom developed some "plug-ins" for quickbooks that are geared towards REI.I want to say that one is John Hyre and the other is Mike Butler, but don't quote me on those names.
