How to get away from using your own money?

The best deals that I've been running across seem to always require that I use all cash, as in all of my own money, rather than hard money or private money in order to beat out the other offers. It's hard to compete against true all cash buyer who's margins don't have to be as high as mine and can offer more than I can. Is it just that I am not making enough offers and just have to increase my numbers, or even look in other areas to invest. Am I just looking in too good of an area or should I be looking at more unique properties and thinking out of the box?
