My concern is that I will not be able to get financing without having a regular income.What would you do and are there lending institutions that will provide mortgages if I am putting 30-40% down on each property?

@Edward MccrackenThe following IRS website explains the participant loan rules. https://www.irs.gov/Retirement-Plans/Retirement-Pl...

Additionally, I have ties to Miami area private and conventional financing institutions. 

There are high quality facilities who will accept program participants, however some facilities are clearly undesirable, in my observation.Since the heirs or beneficiaries also stand to benefit from smart planning, it would make sense to me that they should be involved on both planning and funding the plan. 

If it is such a great deal and they are a credit worthy operator, why won't a bank or other individual or institution loan them money?

The 7-plex and the triplex will have very different institutional loans.Why would you rather not owner finance?

Institutional?

I am looking forward to learning and participating in the buying, renting and selling of real estate properties as an investor.  

Very few lending institutions succeed by positioning themselves as the high volume, low margin option.You get what you pay for in lending like every other industry.

We've been working with institutional investors and private real estate funds to test our product.
