I would also think a more 'blue collar' demographic with more 600- 650+ FICO score 'potential buyers' (used to renting, thinking they needed an 800 credit score and/ or 20% down, to 'buy') with only a few grand to put down and little or no prior knowledge of their ability to 'rent to own' would be optimal to 'pre- quality' through a mortgage lender, as well as (re)educate people that there are also good reasons to 'rent to own,' aside from getting into a house to 'build equity.'

It all comes down to your experience, and ability to schedule and organize the project, subs, materials, etc. 

Also, just so you know, a new investor with a low budget who hasn't provided any detail as to their ability to get financing is not the typical client of top investor agents.

It will limit their ability to purchase their own home, thus limiting them to being renters for a good long time.

I have great support with my SDIRA company as well as my 401(k) company and so enjoying the ability to consult and work with each team - can never get enough help!

Their is no reason to sell unless you want to free up your ability to finance something else and you can't pay down other assets with cash on hand in order to get the new mortgage, etc.This is all from the little experience I have and what I plan to do the next few years.

Most lenders know that something bad will happen - that's the nature of the biz - so they are usually not only looking at the deal and the ability to pay back the loan but also about the skills of the operator to get out of difficult times. 

Then the issue is probably that the contract prohibits an assignment and the LLC doesn't have the ability to fund the deal for a double close.  

What if the higher costs locally cause a significant delay in our ability to buy anything?

So far, you haven't really proved (here) your ability to find REAL "deals"!
