I may be parting ways with my current provider.

. - not a lawyer but I know someone in a similar position who acted as a private money lender (silent partner) on a rehab to generate passive income.You could also look into the many turnkey providers to sites like Realtyshares, Honemestors, etc who will provide you with a K1 for passive income.

You don't have to trade out of a single family rental into another single family rental -- there are other 1031-eligible investments that might fit by providing passive monthly income. 

Here are the details:Assumable loan balance: $750k at 2.75%List price: $950kDownpayment needed: $200k to cover the differenceMy initial plan to make this deal work included a few options:Getting a loan for the $200k difference.Bringing in a partner.Asking for seller financing.However, when I discussed these options with my agent, I hit a few roadblocks:Second Mortgage: My agent said no bank would provide a second position loan for the $200k.Seller Financing: He mentioned that 99% of sellers would reject this, though we're asking anyway.Agent's Advice: He suggested I just get a conventional loan and put 5% down for the full $950k, but I feel this defeats the purpose of leveraging the assumable loan.Given these challenges, I’m trying to figure out the best way to raise the $200k.

Building positive relationships with the staff can help facilitate the process and may lead to a quicker approval.Consider obtaining signatures for notification from neighbors in person rather than sending certified mail.

I provide transactional funding. 

Of course site specific details could change my take above, but based on what you shared you need to buy a SFR in the two allowable areas above in order to obtain a STR permit. 

This will make it necessary for Buyer’s agents to provide potential buyers with that contract for payment of their services prior to working with them.
