Your brand is how you choose to package all the features of your rental and all this information and present it to future tenants that makes them decide to rent your property over another.Establishing your brand is important because no two rental properties are ever the same and there is not easy way for a potential renter to rate one over the other.

By the way if I choose the section option, which is buying a primary home, I would do a 5% down payment therefore I wouldn’t spend the entire 40k I have saved.

If you have wiggle room and the appraisal wasn’t too far off, you can also choose to negotiate instead of hitting the restart button if the buyer walks away.

If I had a buyer with RI housing and one without, I would choose the one without every day of the week.On the general idea of restrictions for a small amount of money, I agree wholeheartedly.

Say if I were to go this route is there possibility for profit and am I able to rent it out once I choose to leave for the remainder of the lease? 

Those will always be preferred since you basically get to choose your own terms. 

With which brokerage did you choose to affiliate?

You would simply need to choose an administrator or custodian to have your SDIRA with, bigger pockets has compiled a list available here.

If they start having issues with it, then I would offer to back out and apologize (They won't choose this option). 

I think the mall owners should be able to evict them if they choose, or not to.
