It seems like this would be much easier if I had a checkbook IRA but being that I have a custodian, Equity Trust, it seems like it does make things a bit more complicated.Custodian has to approve purchase ahead of time, takes time to issue check to seller.To move a home I would again have to request the funds to be sent to the mover and then again to the electrician, plumber and  handyman to pay them for the hook up of the home as well as for rehab of the home.Additionally, I am not allowed to do any of the rehab myself so that is an additional cost to pay the handyman or other vendor.Does anyone have any experience or advice in using a SDIRA to invest in mobile homes?

@Julia Aberdeen In Maryland, Tax liens are freely assignable.

One scenario is that they had moving help and the truck was loaded with these items because the movers assumed they belonged to the tenant.

Then, I would offer to buy their houses at a discount if they really felt the need to move...  :-) Really? 

And when such is true, the smart move really is to sell and put those funds into a different project. 

I certainly would not expect, for example, an elderly or disabled person to hire movers to make room for you to replace your windows.

You won't need movers for the county just a locksmith which you can be along with ofcourse the locks. 

How do you move real property to another state?

I would offer to hire professional movers, return security deposit before they leave and give them a month or 2 of rent if I really needed them gone. 

I just filed a $6000 claim for a tenants movers improperly disconnecting a washing machine and causing a flood and it didn’t affect my insurance at all.
