@Anade Davis Agency: either FNMA, FHLMC, FHA, or VA.Look for land contracts, where seller provides financing.

Connect with local wholesalers and investor friendly agents and provide your criteria to start receiving deal flow.

We explained why we decided not to sponsor the deal, how you could approach the situation better next time, and what you need to have prepared when you approaching other sponsors in the future.

Quote from @Stuart Udis: I am always skeptical of these real estate "gurus" and course providers.

Airbnb took over a month to provide reimbursement of a receipt for $500. 

In your case, transferring the property from a revocable trust to an LLC where you and your wife are the owners should not affect the 1031 exchange, provided the LLC is a disregarded entity for tax purposes . 

For on the ground evaluations, I rely on local contacts: agents, contractors, or even property inspectors to provide walkthrough videos and detailed feedback.

The HOA (through the management manager) said OK, please provide a letter stating the door is the only way to make the unit ADA compliant, and I think it will be okay.A week later the developer presents a letter from an architect stating the door is the only way to make the unit compliant. 

Tribes might even provide additional incentives, like grants or infrastructure funding, to encourage investment.

Now investors, especially the newbies, are chasing returns by going after higher risk investments - many NOT really understanding the true risks.Many more investors will be losing money and choosing to liquidate real estate - which will be buying opportunities for the better prepared investors.
