I'm considering starting an LLC that I can run rental income and expenses through for the main purpose of starting a retirement plan (probably a solo 401k) so that I can start socking away some income into a tax deferred account.

So if a 30 year note had 200 payments left and you bought 60 payments, then those 60 would come to you right now and the last 140 back to the original owner.A seller will give you a contract to sign and they may have their servicer handle the closing.

I am 24, currently own a startup in printing and IT services.

The main thing is to know that the two options you present offer completely different levels of time, effort, skill level, and risk.

I find that strange considering that the REO stated it would qualify for a 203K loan program and required the purchaser to only use that program for the Homepath if there was a loan involved.The reason it was questionable was it was a lot with one address that held two houses on it (a main house and a mother-in-law like guest house). 

I can refer you to my investing group's financial experts (accounting firm / law practice), if you like.Where the issue may be getting confused is that the interest on financing is an operating expense for income property, but the principal portion is booked under debt service, as I understand it.
