Hi Gene,I am a principal commercial retail broker where clients buy STNL and MTNL directly and I am also a developer myself.First you need to decide if you are holding the property long term or developing to sell?

@David Siegel I would definitely recommend reaching out to an eviction attorney in case it needs to go that route, I have a few recommendations I can send over if you would like just shoot me a direct message.

I have read about tacking, but cannot find a clear answer to if it would apply. 

You will still want to do some due diligence and see if they are a good fit for you, but this will get you pointed in the right direction to start.A great way to find a local CFP is to use the CFP website https://www.letsmakeaplan.org/While I don't know for sure, I have my doubts that you will find many CFPs at banks. 

Trying to apply some of the great concepts and equations from the REBTN book. 

Although there is nothing stopping you from doing that to cover your EMD, we would not be able to apply that EMD towards the purchase. 

I'm currently exploring the possibility of applying for an FHA loan and had a couple of questions, and I'm eager to tap into the collective wisdom of this fantastic community.1.

The market was always going in one direction: up.

It's in a self directed IRA.

I'll follow up with my CPA after I get one for more details but thank you @Basit Siddiqi for pointing me in this direction and anyone; feel free to add any additional thoughts or insights if you can :-)
