And the reason is if you contribute funds into tax-deferred account you will not be able to use those funds until you retire.It is possible to use a self-directed IRA to buy investment property, however you personally can not benefit from this investment until retirement and you would not be able to use FHA loan.

The signed lease from the landlord trumps the tenant unless the tenants lease is to the new landlords advantage.The smart decision is to believe the lease that benefits the landlord.

You might be able to explain the benefits of the regular income/payments to them, vs one lump sum?

@Levi T.There are many legal concerns you should clear by a lawyer here but even if lets say the law free and clears you to tow their vehicle.The main points: 1 - As many people have said, why would you want to remove the Tenant's means of traveling to work so that they could pay you? 

Hi @Collin Schwartz I have 2 main goals at this time:1) Network with like minded investors in the Metro Area to share ideas and best practices with.2) Identify key partners where I can leverage some sweat equity for equity share right now and when my own capital is freed up, a partner that I can invest with and split the work.#1 is of highest priority to me, #2 will depend solely on the relationship that is built and the deal at hand.Thanks for the reply.

Can we have the disaster first before we plan how to benefit from it?
