We have an LOI accepted on a property where the seller is going to carry roughly half of the 25% down payment.

While it doesn't directly offset the income picked up from the inherited IRA distribution on your tax return, this could partially or fully offset the tax impact and be a completely legit way to accomplish sort of a backdoor rollover.For example.. 

The first one to hire would be the accountant.

You will realize the loss for tax purposes when you sell the security, which it sounds like will happen in 2025.

It sounds like mistakes were made on the properties but I'm also questioning the market (you didn't say where these are). 

@Joseph Alfie the first thing you should do is go walk the property.

Not the case though.

Another alternative would be to buy the property yourself, keep the mortgage in your name but have your daughter on the title.

Are there tenants looking for mobile homes to rent, and what are the going rates?

The real value is on the buy side.
