@Heath JonesMoving funds from a TSP to a qualified retirement plan such as a Solo 401k is allowed.

They offer great returns and allow you to achieve steady cash-flow and build a stable rental portfolio.

Then if that gets rented and feels stable would look at getting another.

As an example, I am retired so my goal is to create retirement income.

Unless the company filed a lawsuit, which you haven't mentioned, they no longer have any interest in the property.If they recorded a lis pendens without filing a law suit the penalty against would let her retire in comfort.If they fraudulently filed a lien of some sort but you haven't indicated anything of that nature, again their penalty would be a nice windfall for her.If . . . she thinks that because they had a purchase and sale agreement from some long ago time, she is simply showing that she doesn't understand how things work.Make your offer, open title and escrow, and I'm sure the whole transaction will go smoothly.A title report will reveal anything of concern and a report is usually $50 to $100.

My husband and I have 3 single family rentals that we are using as part of our retirement plan. 

I got my RE license in 1978 and still have it but I am basically retired but am active as a real estate investor.

I'm 1) retired and 2) already have good subs from managing rentals for the past 12 years. 

Ten more years and I can retire from there with full pension buy out at age 55.

That being said, my husband and I are very fortunate to be in a position to do that because we both have stable W-2 jobs.
