Be patient. these are mid-term plays, so you must be prepared to go without the cash for several years.

While there are some very real educators out there, there are a lot more people pedaling education as lead generator for the educators own business ventures.

Quote from @Evan Polaski: @Enrique Roth, every investor should be preparing a full appraisal package.In mine, I include 1. before and after photos, 2. 5-6 comps that I want the appraiser to use, WITH explanations of what the comps have or don't have compared to mine.  

It also sounds like this is a newer venture for you so unless you have a key partner with experience banks will also factor that into their loans. 

Ironically most investors don't slow down to ask themselves that simple question but will prepare a multi tab excel spreadsheet justifying the reason behind purchasing the low barrier home that lacks fundamentals because it meets the 1% rule or is a good BRRRR candidate because that's what they are taught.

No house is perfect and you want to be prepared to deal with issues.

Quote from @Debra Webb: I’m reaching out for some guidance on securing funding for my next real estate venture I don't have any capital to start with.

Come prepared, ask better questions, and you will get better answers.

Moreover, engage with potential investors, laying groundwork for future ventures and fostering trust.

And, be prepared to walk away.
