My company allowed me to take a loan out a couple of years ago on the 401k (up to half of the total, or $50k, whichever was lesser). 

I would also keep that in mind for anything else in your purchase agreements, to always keep to the deadlines and if they change at all, to get an amendment to the original agreement, just in case an agent's email agreeing to the change isn't accepted by a court, should you ever decide to go that route.Good luck with whichever way you decide to go!

Within 5 days after the effective date of the contract, Seller shall deliver the notice to the Buyer.If Buyer does not receive the Notice, Buyer many terminate this contract. if Seller delivers the notice, Buyer may terminate this contract for any reason within 7 days after the Buyer receives the Notice or prior to the closing, whichever first occurs, and the earnest money will be refunded by the Buyer.

Then, whatever you think of your own country vs overseas, it's totally financially irresponsible to be at the whim of a single government, whichever it is.

Which ever software you use excel, Zoho... you will have a learning curve.

If they leave early, they are still responsible for rent until a new renter takes over or their lease naturally expires, whichever occurs first.Your tenant is leaving.

Best to you, whichever way you go, you have a huge advantage starting so young...

You'll be limited to 75% of the cash buy price or 75% of the lender's appraisal, whichever is lower, until at least 6 months have passed since purchase. 

If it matters, and it may not, whichever one is wrong tell them you are the owner and ask that they fix their record.

You can borrow  from a 401k, but the loan is limited to 50% of the balance or $50K, whichever is less.You can invest using your SD IRA in a property, or you can use your IRA/401k as a bank and lend money to others.
