So,I just try to make these things work in my favor (lemons into lemonade).

There may be reasons for their situation.Bad things happen to good people.Some landlords are power nuts and abusive to tenants - the primary reason for so many tenant rights laws in every state.Some landlords do not know how to turn lemons into lemonade.

Any ideas how to make some lemonade out of these lemons?

Looking for feedback positive or negative, and a slap in the face if necessary… For clarification: when I refer to SDIRA I am talking about having the ability to invest in Notes, Real Estate etc… at my direction….High Level Overview: Long term goal:Buy Notes and Rental property; with my SDIRA, and the kids down the street have a rather lucrative lemonade stand I may take them national… JFunding / Structure:Funding is going to be difficult; I have no existing IRA; and my only 401k is active and doesn’t allow active rollovers.

Lemonade stand?

We have learned to turn lemonades into lemonade.

Do they need a diet or am I out of line?

I'd bet that some of them have a diet that consists of cereal, fast food, and heroin.Could you tell them that the stove is not for heating and if you catch it being used as a furnace, you will remove it?

I'm not suggesting you put the family on the PB&J diet or anything extreme.
