I work as an independent contractor and receive 18% of the net proceeds on every transaction.

@Joe WoodIf you deposit the funds into new IRA within 60 days the new IRA custodian will file form 5498, which will tell the IRS they received the funds.

I met with a lady that received one of my D4$ post cards.

I get it in writing personally to erase any ambiguity - email, text, consent on my website, I've even done it on a napkin and scanned the napkin to PDF format, take your pick, but always documented and never verbal. 

In most areas a landlord cannot evict if partial payment is received.

It is not unacceptable to allow your family to occupy your second home, you are still considered the owner occupant under Code B2-1-01 (2019) so you could definitely receive the gift of equity and apply it towards a down payment at closing.
