@Shannon Dennis The only IRA option for investing in alternative assets is either a sep IRA or Self Directed IRA and both have IRS rules regarding probited parties and transactions. 

It depends on what you are looking for, personal financials, and location. 

I really don't like this approach at all, and I think that folks who use HELOC after HELOC to finance property will find that real estate compounds financial pressure on their lives, rather than compounding freedom. 

Then cash out in 6 months to a year with better tenants and higher rents.Effectively doing the BRRRR method on your 1031 with the capital gains to effectively buy your next distressed asset and have a built in reno budget.Just thinking out loud...

Fees often cover a range of services, including tenant screening, rent collection, property maintenance, and financial reporting.

Unfortunately, it is doubtful that you could agree to a deed in lieu of foreclosure in advance, but if you strike the financer as a reasonable buyer who isn’t going to be a pain in the rear or a jerk who is going to leverage his own financial misstep into a give me cash for keys, then you might be able to persuade the financer into accepting your sweetened financing terms. 

Also, the IRA funds cannot be used for real estate, or any asset, you own personally.

depends on if losing 50k demolishes you financially.. if not sell it and move on. other wise refi and keep

The challenge of it is going to be finding a property that makes financial sense.

Fun not obvious one: Bonus depreciation from other equipment assets (ATMS, cars, etc)
