I could provide insight on contractors and sources of hard money. 

A great source for buyers is other wholesalers, biggerpockets, craigslist, REIAs and calling bandit signs.

I don't particularly go after foreclosures, but I do market to preforeclosures.Good to know that the library is also a possible source for this information.  

Just to clarify, it is not called hard money because it is "hard to find" in fact, hard money lenders are a dime a dozen.As to your issue, getting a job now full time will not be good enough to satisfy lender requirements for a HELOC or any other institutional money source.

As everyone has mentioned this is a great place to start and an excellent source for networking.

I'm struggling with sources to pull my next down payment from.

We have found that having a good W2 income source has been an amazing asset.

Meaning if you find a great deal you can call people and have the funds ready in short time-frame.Refinancing, credit cash advances, HELOC are good sources and once you have initial equity you have to start building by increasing the volume of flips

Redfin is a good source for solds but it can be a little tricky getting the settings to work just right sometimes.

According to those same sources, the listing price just doesn't seem to be in line with the real value of the property.
