Advice for a newbie

[Yancy Dionne]

Hello,

I'm a 38 year old (yes I know I'm old) disabled guy from Louisiana attempting to get financially independent, but I have very little money to put down and I have limited income so I don't think any bank would help me. I have a turnkey house that is at market value  (165k) I'm interested in, but I could talk them down because I'm familiar with the owner, and I know what kind of rent I could get from it (1500-2000). I don't know anyone able to give me a decent loan. Does anyone have any advice, or maybe referrals for a private lender? Because everyone on Facebook are scammers. Please keep in mind I'm still learning, and I would appreciate any advice you offer.

Thanks,

Yancy
