Maybe just try the old fashioned phone call approach and call every lender and bank you can find. 

Call me old fashion but that’s too far away from me and I don’t know the market at all over there.

I could invest my money elsewhere (index funds, etc.) and just let it ride.  

What it's not because the market is down but I want to ride it out by the others don't?  

I am enormously excited to ride this mouthwatering new adventure.

When I was riding around with my uncle to check out the town, I saw for sale signs everywhere.I don't say any of this to discourage you from moving forward with the opportunities you've identified because I'm sure there are other more experienced members here that could find the positive provide a strategy for you to work with.  

So I had to ride out some lower cashflowing months for the first year, but not it cash flows close to $500 a month and will only go up from there.

I've seen people who's over-riding concern is asset preservation and tax shelter/deferral look at DSTs. 

My wife and I are on our second househack, just about to start our third and it's been a fun ride. 

A FSD car would mean no need for public transportation, no traffic jams, free rides to stores (grocery would pay to drive you there, malls would pay to drive you there and drive you right into the center of the mall) For $100 a month a car will show up at your door in 15 minutes or less.
