For business and personal reasons, my partners want to free up time and money as they bought a new business and wont to focus solely on that.  

I bolded the phrase which seems to fit our end of the business, "Any entity created solely for the purpose of securitizing loans secured by an interest in real estate, provide the entity does not service the loans" which would be exempt.

My plan is to use two sources of financing on this deal.  

Brew City FB Group is a great source for contractors.BTW here is a good story: the choice of lender matters more than most people think and not for the interest rate.

Personally, I view the stock market as a capital source.

I'm writing a blog about it, but can't seem to find any updated graphic from a reliable source.

It seems like tax assessment could be a helpful additional source for calculating comps, since the tax assessment is made independently by a municipality.

Most loans have that written in a clause somewhere that it is not assumable.If you're doing it solely for simplicity if something happens to your mother, you can speak with an attorney about structuring a trust or whatever would work best for your situation. 

Now, in terms of what to get into, I am open to options - specifically looking for property backed crowd sourcing opportunities that would qualify as 1031 exchange.

The ideal candidate would 1) be a continual source of deals, 2) able to connect me with investor specific contractors, inspectors, property managers, landlord insurance companies, etc in the local area and 3) make these referrals based on personal use of these individuals services.I already own some investment property, however that property was purchased using the traditional approach.
