It's an A-framed garage with shingles roof, gutters, windows, and a 32" exterior door (in addition to a 16' operating face door). 

With this additional expense, that would mean depleting the savings we’ve worked so hard to build over the past few years.To add to the situation, my wife and I are expecting our first baby in just two weeks!

Also, are you trying to avoid one with an ice maker--potential here for additional maintenance if any issues arise.I've had Whirlpool, Samsung, Frigidaire in properties without any issues.Make sure you're aware of what the manufacturer warranty covers things such as parts, labor, and compressor.  

The seller will also have to sign documents that are required and it will hold them liable for debts since they are on title.Best way to set that up is run the numbers and create a partnership based on the equity of the land and your cash injection and sweat equity.

Then, take additional distributions quarterly if the business is profitable.

In addition to my surrounding area of Bridgeport, I am also open to looking in New Haven County, Middlesex, and Hartford as well as an out of state market (Detroit, MI). 

You can do an 80% LTV cash out refinance, but it will depend on the state and if the property can debt service at the higher LTV 

Solo 401(k)s are not subject to UDFI (Unrelated Debt-Financed Income) on the capital gains from selling a debt-financed property, per IRS rules.b.

okay @Brandon Battle Could I just add it to the contract as a contingency clause to get permits for basement bathroom?

.- You can buy additional properties and DIY manage those, perhaps leaning on the PMC for any issues you're not sure how to handle on your own.Good luck:)
