I have messed around with a few online business models but just couldn't find any sort of enjoyment out of them(Ecommerce, affiliate marketing, blogging) I began reading about business about 9 months ago when I got out of a toxic 2.5-year relationship.

Develop a relationship with a good realtor that knows the areas well and also utilize the Trulia crime heat map.

You can network with agents and lenders and build a relationship with them.

I am not a lawyer...repeat I am not a lawyer, but depending on the circumstances and your relationship to your partner(s) you may be able to simply collect funds without forming a syndication.

I would like to build great relationships online and offline via BP.Keeping my current career in banking, I have a goal to have a passive income for fianancial freedom and stable retirement.I have a question to our experienced investors.

I know agents have relationships with buyers where they simply tell them every "good deal"?

If you've done a few deals, have good credit worthiness, and a good relationship with lenders you know you'll be able to get financed.Last but not least you mentioned that you want to stop passing on deals just because the numbers don't work and "just want to get a deal done." 

Well I'm assuming your referring to real estate, otherwise I have lots of strong words about dating and choices in relationships for my younger self........In regards to real estate GO BIGGER SOONER.

A private lender is a person and you vet in person by assessing your relationship with them and common friendships. 

Yeah if it's a timing issue then Private Money can be tricky because it takes time to build that relationship and trust.
