Instead of finding a buyer, I decided this would be my chance to start flipping and I aggressively started searching for a hard money lender.

Also most standard mls contracts contain an automatic or "check the box" addendum for 1031 exchanges. 

This is also a topic of frequent discussion, I suggest you search the forum for related keywords and results will keep you busy reading for hours...As you read you will see who the real players are, do little due diligence, review their references and then contact 2 or 3 to speak directly, then make your choice.
