Then I brought with left over cash a long desired 2nd home overseas, which we will use 4 months and mid term rent the other months.

After running rental numbers I cant seem to find a property that cash flows utilizing the LTR strategy. 

Section 8 is a tool for landlords, NOT a cure-all.Yes, a landlord can sometimes get higher rent via S8 than they can from cash paying tenant, but only in Class C- and D areas.

The reason I am asking is because in some cases I am not certain if I want to buy the property with non IRA cash or through the IRA.

Bought for cash flow, got appreciation, and then exited with their winnings. 

Buyer's agent suggested "Cash to move out" but I'm not exactly sure how that matters if the tenant is HUD and needs a new HUD apt. 

By the time we are our parents' age, our properties could be paid off/cash flow well, and we are sitting in an amazing position. 

Financially speaking, I'm still saving, but the goal is 50k saved up (all costs: closing, fees, down payment, portion of rehabbing costs) by this summer with my fathers help on the cash all while I continuously save 50-80% of my work checks to fund for rehabbing this property and I work off my second job and "survive off of that."

The house is situated in a desirable neighborhood but it seems they are only looking into cash offers. 1.
