I am looking to create a presentation to hand out to potential private investors.

In which case, get a private lender to finance you and after a year re-finance from bank.If you understand what I am trying to tell, and like to pursue this route, keep in mind there are lot of moving parts in this strategy.  

He's known that he needs to get started with raising private money for years, but hasn't been able to make it happen.

These guys can typically email or text their private money providers with the deal and the money is quickly sent.  

Have a single family property I'm looking to purchase - it already has a tenant and good cash flow; the realtor is not investor friendly and is demanding a $1000 good faith deposit, which I do not have - I'm working on getting a private lender.

You can probably find private money sources in your area.

I think the time spent running in circles for them would be better used finding a local private lender.

Double close, keep your profits private.

@John Galang need know property address details , possible purchase price / renovation your decision : private message or public form

In doing so, I have started forming a Private Lenders list and have started some basic conversations.
