@Han T. any tenant activist group in a bigger market will provide legal counseling and a free lawyer to a tenant.

Most can only be obtained by trekking down to the county court and getting a copy of the specific case.

It would be very helpful if you could/would tell us (a)  the history of/facts regarding the break in chain of title (tell us abou the break itself) and (b) how long the seller owned the property / how did the owner take title to property (assuming Seller is in title).Assuming your/Seller's title company won't start work on this, you could ask title compay/or do it yourself - research the county records and obtain the "last deed out", which is the last deed recorded that placed the current owner in title (title company should have that deed NOW in their records.In my State, if a title company recorded the deed, the title company will type/stamp their name and title commitment number on the deed.  

If you are going to use retirement funds for a down payment on the property, the retirement account would obtain the financing and would also own the property.

Supply and demand drive prices for ALL things real estate, and demand for refinances is ridiculously high right now (partially, but not entirely, offsetting the T-note having it's bottom drop off), probably going to be increasing in the short term.

However, I will tell you that the main advantage to sellers of owner financing is the ability to sell a property that may not qualify for third party financing, and opening up the market to buyers who may not qualify for third party financing, thereby obtaining a higher price.

Unless it's getting 10% CoC, what would be the point of investing VS the stock market if you're a l/t investor?
