If rent is not paid physically at a branch (i.e. it is paid online or via bank transfer), the date of payment will be considered the date when funds reach our account. 

Damage to garage door after partying or fighting reported by other tenants and only now confirmed by seller's agent.Furthermore, one of the tenants on the 3rd floor has reported to me that tenant of second floor has made threats to physically harm her.

Thankfully my job only requires I be physically in the office infrequently, so I could owner-occupy for a year  in "nearby" areas (Modesto, Stockton, Sacramento, etc)... but it is still a major course correction. 

Keep in mind that there are minimum requirements that you may need to physically occupy the unit (6 months to 1 yr) but if you chose a property below market value, you have the option of doing a cash out refi and pulling money out of the property for your next investment. 

@Sean HarrisonIf you're self-employed, you might be eligible for a Solo 401k, which offers many benefits over a self-directed IRA: Compared to an IRA, Solo 401k contribution limits are roughly ten times higher.There is no custodial requirement for the 401k.You don't need the additional expense and administration of an LLC to have checkbook control.There is a built in-Roth component whereas IRAs are either traditional or Roth, not both.A spouse can also participate in the same Solo 401k plan.The Solo 401k has additional tax benefits over an IRA when investing into real estate using leverage.The penalties for prohibited transactions are less severe, though it's best not to utilize this benefit :)I'd recommend you reach out to a few providers who regularly post here on BP to get a better understanding of your options.

One thing you may think about doing is starting a process of debt consolidation into the riskiest properties in the most unstable locations (either physically or prone to stagnation or market turnaround). 

Owner's redemption time is cut by three years and there is no more physical notice requirement.

 You are going to find many situations on where claimed numbers are not how they truly are is once you start peeling back the cover of economic and physical occupancy current standings.
