@Greg Dickerson, they are stating they have the records, just intertwined with their personal stuff, and would be laborious to provide (apparently). 

The difficulty, IMO, is looking to the intent of the law, any law, while it is stated at the beginning of each law ( and breezed over by most readers, IMO) you can see how inter-twined legislation becomes.

The two are very much intertwined for us.Everyone thinks about this stuff differently and everyone's situation is different though.

Yes the government wants the "magic fairy dust" as I call it.I see it with banks as well.Sometimes the bank believes in an appraisal that won't fetch half the value.Since it's a "third party" appraiser they believe it to be most accurate.The problem is appraisers aren't in the field talking daily to investors doing deals like I am.Even if I can convince the bank they tell me they agree with my value and comps it's just that right now they can't take the hit.They can only take small hits over time.The government I am sure sees this the same way.As an investor I wouldn't want to be "in bed" with the government on houses.They have shown not to be good stewards of money or to make thoughtful programs that work in the real world.That leaves you intertwined with the government for years and years which I would equate to a nightmare situation.As far as the SS or REO driven market it depends on your local area.Some areas only had a few foreclosure to begin with and have already recovered.Other areas a foreclosure and short sales can be up to half of all sales still today.The reality is the buyer when looking at a remodeled house versus one needing work will go look at the REO or short sales.Then the buyer will compare in their mind IF they want to do the work to gain sweat equity or just pay for a finished product??

I never cross that line with my Solo 401k Finances, insurance etc. you may want to talk with a tax attorney, but when it comes to the IRS Rules concerning real estate within a solo 401k or SDIRA, I stay away from grey areas and never intertwine personal and retirement assets. 

This is where at least one of my investor discussions landed recently and is also intertwined in the original question of the 3 scenarios above.  

Drug abuse and violence are very tightly intertwined with the construction industry.

Concern, if a person looks up the word meaning, is very closely intertwined and related to anxiety.

.- Someone above said price for profits and not occupancy, but recognize they are intertwined. 

These statutes are regarding conveyances in our state, which is intertwined with contract for deed.
