I can no longer see the horizon, but my sails are full and the ocean seems to be smooth ahead.

So what steps should we be doing in the meantime to set ourselves up to qualify for another loan/make this a smooth transition?

Then if everything goes smoothly, you should be the new owner of a property in about 30 days 

Unfortunately, we just evicted a tenant this month and it went about as smooth as it always goes. 

We'll be using the sliding panels for all of the closet doors in the house...I like the smooth touch it adds against the softness of the curtains.  

If the home owner already is going to give you a good deal, the agent might be able to make the whole thing work more smoothly.

If you pretend otherwise you might smooth the way early on but when you make your offer and it doesn't fit with the false image you have created you will losing anything you thought you gained.For example, the "we are a company, blah blah, buying in your city..."

@Stephen Morton read if you cant wholesale after this then i got nothing for youbasic tldr is 1. find a title/escrow company/attorney2. make a buyers list3. find sellersyou want to have everything set up before you find houses so that everything goes smoothly and you know what criteria your buyers would want. cuts down on a lot of the guesswork

Before going this route, I did a lot of research on other Airbnb's in La Mesa and discovered there are 4 other listings that have hundreds of reviews, which means they have been renting out their trailers on the website for years.Everything was going smooth until a compliance officer from the city knocked on our door and told us we are not allowed to have anyone in it and we need to bring in the awning/ slider and disconnect from the utilities.
