I have met plenty of people who will fund me and people that will buy my projects.  

The IRA can purchase materials and labor separately.What you would want to be careful of, however, is that you personally do not become a delivery boy for the project.  

To fast forward, essentially the husband had work across many different states/projects and their circumstances changed causing them to move back to their hometown within 3.5 months of starting their 1 year lease.The signed lease was very tight (no PM, just realtor, great neighborhood/friends and us) and covered us for many situations but I do want to get some clarification or advice on best course of action for the following:(please note this info is just from my googling/common sense and again I have no claims to be right in any situation here)1.

just call around to local banks and ask about rehab or renovation loans.

A friend suggested I join this forum for tips and details on escrow, renovations, renting out, and property taxes.

I am currently managing projects for a boutique GC in Seattle, with a focus on high end residential remodels and new construction as well as commercial projects.

You want to take on a project that will be easy to sell and move quickly.

I have an experienced contractor to visit the places with me and give me estimates of the renovation costs.

Current dilemma: I have a rental property I purchased in 2010 for 225k (mortgage of 150k left) and a renovated comp sold for 425k.

Deanna, We are kinda big compared to most mom and pop investors, there are 4 owners in Colorado (Steve G, Steve W, Manny, and Me) and then we have a Partner/Project Manager in each of our markets.
