Especially to get te FHA loan.

Te "strategy" is being able to obtain financing as needed when needed, that could be days after you pull off some seller wrap financed deal. :)

I hope to right te ship ad put myself in position to invest.

@Joel OwensI have not owned a bank though I do know people who have looked into getting a banking license (though it was over 5 years ago so my memory might be rusty) we also had a number of regional banks as clients of my firm.I would say being President of a Bank might be status thing but owning one probably has more to do with te numerous benefits of owning a bank1) You get access to domestic and international payment networks and the ability to easily move money around, etc.  2) The biggest benefit is the ability to take in insured deposits and get access to the cheapest capital on the market through interbank capital.3) If you have multiple businesses it can serve as excellent choke point for your money as that money can loaned out, etc.4) There is definitely a prestige factor associated with it but you also get access to types of customers you would not otherwise be dealing with because they use you for other things and you know how much they have. 

thats the only advice that i can give.As an agent who has quite a fw short sale listings all i can say is that the agent wants to close that deal probably more than you want to by the house ,, so if you arent getting a response it is because the agent isnt getting an answer from the lender...i have had offers come in and it has taken up to 9 weeks to get an answer ..now as this market continues to do what it is doing the lenders are speeding it up.my best advice is dont take your self out of the deal with your own timelines and when you talk to the agent find out what other offers are in to make sure that you have the stronest offer....and if you are not thats okay make sure the offer your making makes sense for what you are trying to do .because alot of times just like your doing the offer ahead of you will cancell because they are getting impatient and weakest offer that came hrough ends up being the one that gets the home....and as a guy who gets about 50 phone calls a day from agents and buyers alike wanting to know what te staus is on there short sale or reo offer...AS SOON A "WE" THE AGENT REPRESENTING THE PROPERTY HAS ANY SORT OF ANSWER FROM THE BANK THE FIRST THING WE DO IS CALL YOU..so be patient and realize the agent as hard as you push them and give them deadlines and vent all your frustrations,,are just as frustrated as you and want to close as fast as possible.
