I have lots of great tips, but figure I should direct them to an investor friendly local agent.

2nd one is in Florida, empty now, but some people told me I should sell the shell, for people who want to build their credit, since that is open since 2011, US citizens (not me!!!!)

Thanks for all the helpful tips!!

Currently my wife and I are debt free including credit cards and saved up a decent chuck of change for retirement, mutual funds, stocks, and too much into CDs(lucky only one year at 3%).

So many "cash" buyers have commercial lines of credit, Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC), even credit cards with significant lines that allow them to convert money into cash quickly. 

Unlike qualifying for a typical mortgage where it's all about income and credit, in this arena it's all about experience.

I was never on that mortgage though and it never showed up on my credit report.  

It does not require lawyers and is a common remedy for chasing tenant debt.If they are responsible individuals a small claims charge on there records will prevent them from getting loans, buying anything on credit or time payments etc.

I am not looking for them to use thier credit, but  only seeking additional finances to help me fund my 1st deal.Any suggestions, things to beware of etc......all greatly appreicated.

We would absolutely love any tips from seasoned Seattle/ King county/ and surrounding area multifamily investors.
