Do you know the 45 ways to get out of a real estate contract?

You can have an IRA-owned LLC (aka Checkbook IRA) to buy real estate with it or make any other alternative investments.

Quote from @Dexter Florendo Kalai Aspacio: I'm looking for feedback on using real estate funding services for fix and flip projects.

These are things at the high level I want to be looking at for all my real estate purchases. 

I went with Vivint.com they have a great smart home system no wifi needed, streams on your phone in real time anywhere you are, tamper protection, security alerts and motion detectors and will notify policy if you have a break in.

I have an opportunity to JV with a company that has identified properties and will fix/flip.

Have you checked the SkillBridge website for real estate brokerages?

TurboTax has rental property features, and the IRS has a great guide on rental income, deductions, and recordkeeping - IRS Rental Property Tax Guide.https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/tips-on-rental-real-estate-income-deductions-and-recordkeeping2.

Until now I've focused on distressed single-family and small multi-family properties for rehab into rentals (BRRRR).
