Real Estate Investing Help.?

I would really like to get into real estate investing, but do not have the funding available to me. I am not new to real estate and have worked with pre-foreclosures before. I used to find them, work out deals (sometimes short-sales) with the banks and then submit them to a network of buyers that I am affiliated with. What I want to do now, however, is invest in real estate for myself rather than collecting small finders fees after doing all the work. I am an expert at finding nice properties for pennies on the dollar, but am unable to purchase these properties myself because of a lack of funds. This would not be as big of a problem if it weren't for my own poor credit score. Which makes it impossible for me to secure a loan using traditional techniques. So what would be required is either a true "equity based" loan or "no doc" loan; or a private investor. Does anyone know how I can get money to make these investments, i.e. private loans, hard money, etc. and more specifically how to get in touch with them? Thank you in advance.
