It's taken some time to get my wife on board (she wants a nice house with all the bells and whistles) but she's starting to see that this is best for our future.

If the title company is on board I've had them some how keep title open and do them both at the same time here in IL.

Glad you're on board!

If your wife is not on board with you investing in real estate, then I'm sorry to tell you but it's probably not going to happen for you.

I host one in Poughkeepsie, dc holds one in Orange County Newburgh area, there is one on boarder of ct and one in fishkill.  

Rent seems to have stabilized with all the new rental units that have come on board recently in Denver (maybe someone can correct me here if I'm wrong).A 1031 into something else seems to be the best option but unsure of how to really time this with the current tenants (although they are currently month to month and trying to decide if they want to renew so may be an opportunity soon).

Daniel Siapin make sure your architect is on board with this, a lot of times architects won’t stamp someone else’s work because it’s their liability and insurance

Here's a list of my problems: not being able to buy properties with cash so I don't feel I have enough capital to flip, husband goes back and forth with being on board with investing, and our market is going to be in a state we hope to move to by the end of the year. 

Sounds easy enough, but the reality can be quite different.Even with a professional property management team on board, you as the landlord still have an active role in the investment.The property managers may take care of the day-to-day issues, but you will still need to be involved in strategic decisions, including whether to evict tenants who aren’t paying, filing insurance claims when unexpected surprises happen, and sometimes having to put in additional funds to cover maintenance and repair costs.What It Means To Be A Passive InvestorOn the flip side, you have passive investing, which are the “set it and forget it” type of real estate investments.

Not sure how to get her on board and support it.
