Any advice on how to get funding for someone who doesn’t have a “rich uncle” or much money saved up for a significant investment?

I don't believe in the "get rich quick" schemes.

A wise investor will not try to get rich quick with shortcuts.

Since most of us aren’t rich, many real estate entrepreneurs focus just as much, sometimes more, on assembling investors and investment capital as they do on the right deals and locations to use that capital on.The truth of investment is there is no shortage of people who have more capital than they do interest in doing the nuts and bolts work of making an investment work themselves.

Isi hinted at this; but the first deal isn’t about getting rich, the purpose of the first deal is to get you to the second.
