I'd start with your personal network and identify any in your sphere of influence that fit that criteria.

Currently, I have no real experience in real estate, but I have family members and influences in my life who invested in real estate and inspired me to pursue real estate investing to build long-term wealth and achieve financial independence.

In the book Influence, he (and many others) have talked about the Law of Reciprocity.

Any such cash differential shall be applied to Buyers` Cash at Closing.”Let me give you a simple example of a situation where the appraised value is less than the sales price and how AGC can be applied to save a deal…Now that we have seen an example of how AGC can be applied, let’s analyze its strengths and weakness…ProsConsActs as an insurance policy to the seller against a low appraisalOften results in the buyer paying more money for less equity in the homeAllows a buyer to improve and offer without raising the purchase priceIt is not financed through the bank/lender (paid in full by the buyer)Allows the buyer and seller to transact outside of a lender’s domainIs binding upon acceptance of the offerTo demonstrate the negative effects of AGC let’s take the same example from before and compare a few scenarios…Appraised at 100kAppraised at 90k (w/ AGC)Original Sales Price$100,000$100,000Appraisal Gap Coverage-$5,000Appraised Value$100,000$90,000New Sales Price$100,000$90,000Seller Gets$100,000$95,000Buyer Pays$20,000$23,000Alternative Approach It is clear from the example above, that AGC has the potential to force the buyer to pay substantially more for a home that has a lower expected value than originally anticipated.

Assuming you are responsible, you are going to have to find a way to prove that responsibility OR provide a substantial down payment at the beginning of the agreement that you will forfeit if you don't meet your responsibilities in the deal.  

But that usually means the seller wants a substantial chunk of cash upfront so it might not fly.I'm a lease option guy and have been working these deals for 27 years. 

I’ve also found that the reason behind the red tag can influence how hard or lenient they are with you.
