You can shop 10 or 20 lenders in a weeks time, find out what products they offer, what rates, what overlays and qualifications they each have for you.... 

U have to find developments that are purpose built for investors..

We have a Chicago general contracting business, and handling the field operations is a ridiculously heavy lift.As far as finding customers I think you'll have some good success with gorillia marking at some of the local investor meetups. 

I find this laughable.

They are hard to find, but they do exist.

You can also find real estate investing groups through meetup.com, Facebook, or a Google search.

If they seller finance, we have the deed, but they cant 1031 because they would need to find a property ASAP which they want to avoid.

Find the best property you can afford that also can produce enough income so that your monthly out of pocket expense is equal to or less than what you'd pay in rent.

When I arrived I wasn't able to find a home, but I was able to find a house to rent a room from.

We were extremely hard pressed to find a painter to do this which is why I said I could do it.
