Is an inadequate card better than none at all for the purpose of this meeting?

Doing double closings will be very difficult with FHA buyers regardless of the 90 day rule lifting as they rarely close in time and many will not process until the seller is actually on title.If you do use transactional funding for double closings, I highly recommend you have your end buyers use conventional loans through a loan broker you have lined up ahead of time who is comfortable with your back to back closing scenario or all cash buyers.

If the seller agrees to finance some or all of the deal you can work that out.

If I were to invest most or all of the money into strictly investment properties I would definitely be looking at Connecticut and New Jersey as places to invest in.

Or all three?

If you (will) own them free and clear at the time you fully retire, you could owner finance some or all of them instead of selling them outright. 

Is it just 1 or all?

Total acquisition cost on these deals has ranged up to ~$30M, so w/ a lot of investors' money at stake nothing should be left to chance or oral agreements/understanding. 

Inadequately pre-screening leads 5.

In "section 8" situations the government pays the rent (a portion or all of it).
