Some Tax advantage and some not but as far as being invested in debt or income producing real estate I'm don't have any exposure and I'd like to fix that.A  piece of me also says this is a single family residential and will have good resale value and liquidity so I'm not pinched if I need to get out.

It's not "increased risk" - it's just whether you qualify to borrow the amount you are looking to borrow based on your overall debt, or not.

Case by case, but not out of a general fear of debt or because your broke brother in law says so.  

I also was told that once you buy the house the property could have a tenant inside, a landlord that doesn’t want to leave (hence I would be responsible for the eviction process), and there could be surprises in the title, some hidden debt or in the conditions of the house.When looking at the numbers it totally makes sense to go this route as you can get some really good deals on auction.

I'm just trying to find a way to retire as fast as possible with no debt and plenty of money to live on without working, so good cash flow is important (to pay down debt or make further investments) and so is appreciation (or at least not retraction) so that I don't run the risk of being under water and losing everything. 

Rehab or mismanagement causing vacancies that need to be taken care of before long-term debt? Or

Also she should not go into retirement with $150k debt, or cosigning for you on $150k debt, if you bought the house. 

Is there anyways we can assume the debt or buy the house from the bank before it goes to foreclosure and is auctioned.
