And in the same vein, is there a realignment that would work with a new tap (meaning is it even possible to get to the main without crossing the neighbor's property)?

Any financing in your model would need to be non-recourse, which is going to be more like $40-50K that you could pull out.  90% of that would go to you and 10% of that would go to the IRA - you can't choose to leave the IRA in the deal and cash yourself out.If the IRA is involved, you cannot rehab the house personally and would need to hire that work out.The use of debt-financing with an IRA introduces a tax known as UDFI, which will not add up to much, but is something an investor would want to understand if they pursue a strategy such as this.So could you embark on a strategy in this vein and generate good return for your IRA?

In a similar vein to what @James Wise posted...The "treasure" that sticks out in my mind was something that came from a protracted eviction of a problem tenant years ago. 

In the same vein, know your contract and timeframes so you know how and when and if you get that back if the contract falls apart.AND. . .  .Build rapport with the listing agent / seller!!! 

What about 2 spiders and 1 cat?

I have an apartment complex that seems to always have ants and spiders, so we spray the common areas every quarter to keep them under control and tenants are responsible for whatever's inside their units.

All are white (bright or warm white) and have either subtle grey and/or greige/pale brown veining.
