I'd start with attending local investor meet ups.

To give you an idea of what taxes look like on a sale below is an example for a property in Texas, obviously everyone's situation is unique and you'll need to meet with a CPA. 

The Wichita market currently does not have enough supply to meet the buyers need. 

However, because the Department of the Treasury recognizes that reporting companies may need additional time to comply given the period when the preliminary injunction had been in effect, we have extended the reporting deadline as follows:Reporting companies that were created or registered prior to January 1, 2024 have until January 13, 2025 to file their initial beneficial ownership information reports with FinCEN.

We want to ensure we meet their expectations.  

I'd recommend attending investor meet ups.

And how can we align our approach to meet those expectations and improve our chances of securing financing?  

I have a commitment to invest in rental properties, meet professionals  & eventually meet potential business partners!

ways to meet such people would be meetups, or simply walking into some smaller offices, could also ask around to other owners of the assets you are interested in and see who helps them. 

Quote from @Monish Anand: I own 3 SFH rentals currently but am looking at new markets and so I want to meet the best real estate agents at the markets I'm considering.
