I hope you are staying safe in this difficult time. 

Alwasy stay on top of your properties and investements.

Answer sure.. have to check if there is a due on sale clause or if you have a PG to the orignal seller.. that mortgage stays in your name unless there is a formal assumption  Maybe the example is more challenging for a house as the property.Ex. with vacant land - seller finances to me $20k with 5% down and $1k/moCan I after 1-2 months, then resell the land to a cash buyer for $25k, pay off the original $20k and pocket the $5k?

Option D: you are considered a "disqualified person" to your IRA and as such are prohibited from engaging in any transaction in an IRA or receiving any benefits from the IRA (directly or indirectly), therefore I strongly suggest you avoid this option if you wish to stay out of trouble. 

Hopefully, everyone stays safe and the firefighters can get a handle on it soon.

No brainer to stay there if I was looking in that area. 

It's also important to look at the statistics of length of stay for that region.

What markets do you want to stay in?

Probably not a lot of advantage to small MF vs single family so I would stay open to both. 

We want to acquire a property in one of these areas, not only as an investment but also as a place where we can stay when we visit the United States.
