Ask the County/City Fire Department or Health Department to do a safety check. 

It's for your tenant's safety and it's in both of your interests that the repairs get done.

@Timothy Pauldon If the property is in livable condition, no health and safety issue we will  be able to do the loan.

It is a huge safety risk and the PM never should have installed them. 

You'll likely struggle to get the normal 30 year locked rates that other people talk about here but I've been able to secure either ARM or balloons with a 20-25 year am and either a 5, 7, or 10 year balloon.  

Where a second Dwelling Unit is allowed by zoning, the IRC shall apply to require, among otherthings, any necessary fire safety separation between the Primary Dwelling Unit and the secondCIDU.

Were the violations concerning some sort of serious public safety hazard? 

I would suggest, keeping your cash and putting as little $ down as possible :) Hi Bud,My thinking after research is that the one property paid for with cash will have the highest monthly ROI (short term) and will be a safety net in case either of the other 2 are vacant for extended times. 

By bringing your personal savings you are enabling your IRA engage in a transaction it otherwise not able to participate, this would be considered "prohibited" by the IRS.If you wish to stay out of trouble follow advice of @Daniel Dietz: make sure each transaction your IRA is involved with is "arms length" (no "disqualified person" is involved in the transaction). 

Not all areas in Baltimore are created equally as far as safety as with most large cities.
