1st Fix & Flip Advice

Hello BP Friends,

After reading and listening to many BP Podcasts episodes I've decided that I am finally taking the first step into my real estate investing journey. I am looking to invest in my "backyard" in the Atlanta Metropolitan area. I have ran the numbers on a few potential single family one story 3b & 1-2.5/ba properties and they all have potential to do really well after calculations. I am seeking to use Hard Money to fund. The only experience I have in investing is the purchase of my current residence which was newly constructed using my VA Loan. How should I approach a potential Hard Money lender to back these deals with little experience? I am confident they are great deals just skeptical of my approach to the lenders. Any advice would be greatly appreciated especially if you're a contractor, local investor, lender, agent, etc.
