Or should I break my promise to get into real estate in 2025 and continue to work part-time while going to college to afford a conventional 30-year mortgage on my first SF and use the "Building Wealth Through Single-Family Homes" plan? 

You'll definitely want to spend a serious amount of time with the seller.

I plan on living in this with roommates for 2 years and going onto the next deal.

Lesson learned on going into business without exit plans, I guess...For reasons out of scope here, I just filed my 2021 taxes and the IRS hit me with a $30k capital gains bill (not including interest or penalties).

You're better off spending time seeking out a title company that has done double closings that trying to explain it to a title company that hasn't.

The best documentation in the world won't help you strategically plan how to use your 1031 opportunity if the QI isn't responsive to in a timely manner.Demonstrated experience and nationwide footprint I would toss out as the two most important criteria. 

I suspect it is possible, but I can guarantee you would spend more then $10K to get a $10K lien on his personal property. 

If that doesn't work, you can ask the court to establish a payment plan or garnish their wages. 

I am mostly interested in rentals but will plan doing doing an occasional flip when it makes more sense.
