Of course many times on BRRR with max leverage you have to write a check to refi.. so helps there

I have been working with the title company who wants me to changes this to purchase the property and put my name as the manager. 

Aren't you  billing in proportion to use?   

Then use the extra roommate rent income to pay down your mortgage and look to refi to a lower payment in the future (3-5 years) - so it cashflow when you move out.You could also choose the smaller unit and STR the other unit to generate more cash to pay down your mortgage and refi, so it cashflows when you move out.Bottom line: you'll have to get creative to solve your cashflow challenge!

Cash from a self directed IRA How did you add value to the deal?

A HELOC could help temporarily if you plan to payoff the balance quickly and are planning to save on monthly payments in the short term.  

C class areas/properties to A class areas/properties.

Personally I don't like to use credit cards for STR stuff.

Man, thats awesome, I would love to start buying at PreForeclosures, how did you find the lender?
