They have told me that assuming credit, debt, etc check out fine that I will have enough equity in the land to make the downpayment for the cabin that I want. 

The equity market is a fine comparison, but the reality is if you think every 5 years you're net return will be 90%(not sure if this is pre or post tax) then you can choose that route but you have to mark it to that return annually which is a reach.

You'd want either an LLC in the state where the real estate is located or you can also just put it in your name and take out a good landlord's policy from Farmers, Erie, etc. which will protect your investment just fine. 

on a brand new house with brand new everything that rents for $2000 a month - it might be fine. 

If you buy good properties in good locations you can do fine in Buffalo. 

I'm feeling the delays I've imposed on myself in my RE investing, so I'm trying to correct my trajectory to get back on course ASAP.You may not realize it, but you just stated your goals.Number of properties, no matter how you arrive at a number, is never a goal. 

You’ll be fine, sounds like the facts are on your side.

That's fine as long as all the payments go directly into your SDIRA. 

Sure, that would be more then fine!  

Longer lead times I get alot of intern inquiries which can be fine but income wise they aren't as strong a candidate.
