If in your shoes, I'd try and weather the storm through the winter and then get them out or evict when the weather is warmer and when it's easier to re-rent the unit.

Just have to find one like that - may be easier said than done, but they are out there!

Not only sith SDIRA's, but funds outside a retirement account can be targets for crooks.If you invest with your SDIRA (or any funds for that matter) know who the borrower is, make sure you know the investment and you have personally performed your due diligence on the investment.

If the bank accepts, we have 48 hours to send them an Agreement of Sale.I'm offering all cash and I would really like to waive all contingencies to make the decision easier for the bank, but the one thing that I'm stuck on is the title.

Financing your primary is much easier and the terms are better.

Additionally, the financing for the larger home is easier also. 

Still, much easier than a scrap of paper.

I thought REOs were targeted for investors rather than someone looking for an owner occupied home.

It's either $1,000,000 or $500,000 in a targeted employment area and you must "plan to create or preserve ten permanent full time jobs."

If so how can this be done, I know I can just go into county records of properties that I'm interested in but it would be a lot easier to have the listing agent get in contact with the seller.
