Then, after I had experience and several wins, people were willing to partner with me on deals, or lend to me in second position for a short period of time to help with the down payment and with repairs and then I would pay them back when I would refinance.

It will take some time to vet the ones you really want to work with and that are good resources for you to use month in and month out.
