@Arthur LeaoThe Roth IRA likely does not factor into your strategy as you have described it.The Roth IRA is not sufficient to purchase a property outright or with a non-recourse loan.The Roth IRA cannot be combined with personal funds to create a deal, since it is not sufficient to do a deal on it's own.It sounds as if you want access to the income.While an IRA may invest in real property, doing so is a way to diversify the IRA savings, not a way to bring that IRA money into your real estate deals.

Either unit 3 will have to use a Laundromat until your tenant in unit 1 leaves, or you'll have to agree on some sort of compensation for the service (not needing to share) that you're taking away.If the tenant was told when they moved in that the laundry would be shared, tell them you're glad they got to enjoy sole use of it for so long and get over it (nicely).
