Hi William --- I will send you a private message. 

I had originally planned to source the down-payment through private money of someone I know but it doesn't seem to be happening right now.

as far as staying in touch. i'm not sure how much i will post on here. i'm a private person to begin with. my facebook is set to private and i don't constantly post stuff on there. plus i'm busy.

So, I think your options are to (1) buy the place and wait six months or whatever the seasoning period is (with hard money, probably not a good option) or (2) look for private capital, which is probably the best idea.

There are private note buyers.

Traditional lenders tend to be more open to investment property once it is fixed up and rented.You can also try a private lender.

I this situation I was thinking about various financing methods, the first that came to mind was to take the seller's offer with an outside entity covering the down payment and closing (Hard money, private money etc.).Another option may be to ask if he's willing to do seller financing, though I don't know if he has a mortgage on the property that would be due on closing. 

Is there any financial institutions or private lenders in the area that may  be able to help me?
