I know at the beginning it will be long hours but I believe it will be worth it.  

Do your renters tend to be long term?

@Brian Gibbons    is correct in reality, while there are lenders that can make loans after the discharge, they will be difficult to find, conventional mortgages require 2 years, in reality that will be 3 years and depending on the reason for the bankruptcy it can be longer, there is no requirement to provide a mortgage at any point in time.

It won't be long before you can structure deals more favorable to you.

I also belong to the Washington REIA and will began bird dogging with one of my best friends, who has a GC company

Of course, I do the credit check because I have some form of standards, but you have to keep in mind - that potential tenants with a wonderful credit score are most likely not going to be long-term tenants since they probably are saving up for a downpayment. 

If so, I belong to a (free) private investor group that communicates over the Internet.

My local Realtor board I belong to has lease option addendum and riders that go along with our standard ASIS contract, and I'm going to have a client who is an attorney and owns a title company help me with these, but I will ask him about it. 

If you belong to one (or know of one), I would appreciate you letting me know.Anywhere near in or near the Naperville, Aurora, Lisle, Downers Grove vicinity would be great.Thanks!

Until you close and record, the problems still belong to the seller.
