Hello, I am a private lender.

Perhaps I can find a private lender or use a Hard-money lender.  

We also have options for non-accredited investors to receive the benefits of owning a loan, but also the tax benefits of not having to pay ordinary income on the interest

Every bank and lender does have its own set of terms and agreements and it may not hurt to ask or read your closing documents.

Good chance a major problem - tenant non payment or damage, needed major repair, etc. puts you cash flow negative for that year.  

Also, how do you find the rest of the members of the team who aren't financial planners, tax professionals, accountants, lenders, and real estate agents?

It may make evictions of non-performing tenants difficult or impossible.

Reonomy/Costar can aggregate public data and CMBS but that is the extent. 

Hey Stanley, I'm a hard money lender based out of Orlando.
