I'd like to connect with some experienced and reputable fix-and-flippers in my area who have a great track record of success. I'm interested in possibly partnering as a lender. But I don't personally have the knowledge, experience, or connections to feel confident flipping on my own. I'm in the ATX area but would be willing to work with folks as far away as San Antonio, Waco, and College Station.

Fran, hiring or possibly partnering with a fix-and-flipper can either hurt your pockets or fill them up. If I were in your position, I would first locate and purchase a property that has built in equity assuming profitable ARV. Once you have found the property start by quoting contractors or flippers. Be aware of zoning laws and building permits for these variables could cost your investment unnecessary time and resources. Before you decide on a contractor or flipper, create a contract that states when and how the rehab will be done. In your contract include clauses that state if the work is done by this specific date then... Or if the work is completed before the deadline then there will be an extra incentive. If the work is not completed by this date then there will be no pay... (Worst case scenario it will be decided by the judaical system) If you are paying cash for the investment great but if you are going to be taking out a loan then I would advise that you look into short term loans. Most flippers utilize a short term loan. Short term loans include higher interest payment but much lower principle compared to a long term loan. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Find your local REIG as well as any in the areas you are interested in and network. I have found that members are willing to help new comers if you approach them the right way. You may find members that are willing to help teach you teh ropes on one of their projects or that can partner with you with you bringing cash to the table. Either way, it will get you to know who is doing deals and what areas are hotter than others. You will also learn who you can call on for work when you get your first flip as getting a solid contractor team is essential to success especially if you are going to farm most of the work out . . . . Good luck!

Do your marketing to find a deal. THAT is what will get people's attention. When someone has a great deal that we are BOTH going to make money on, I get excited. If you go on MLS and find a house that is move in ready, market price minus 5k, not real excited.
The house that needs some work, but also has some potential for rehab and 50k in profit to split, WINNER!!
Find a deal and present it to your potential partner. My info is on my profile.

An underrated spot to find RE Investors is at the local foreclosure auctions. You will find many local investors looking to find deals. Especially if they are there to bid, you know they are committed. They should have other contacts in the space as well.
