So my question: have any of you ever built strictly with the intent on renting the properties upon completion?

Instead of asking the bank for a business loan, you could intentionally invest in properties with at least $100k in equity, and apply a HELOC.

(b) A landlord or his agent may enter the dwelling unit without consent of the tenant:(1) At any time in case of emergency-prospective changes in weather conditions which pose a likelihood of danger to the property may be considered an emergency;(2) Between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. for the purpose of providing regularly scheduled periodic services such as changing furnace and air-conditioning filters, providing termite, insect, or pest treatment, and the like, provided that the right to enter to provide regularly scheduled periodic services is conspicuously set forth in writing in the rental agreement and that prior to entering, the landlord announces his intent to enter to perform services; or(3) Between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. for the purpose of providing services requested by the tenant and that prior to entering, the landlord announces his intent to enter to perform services.

I don't believe wholesalers who don't have the ability or intention of actually buying a property that's in foreclosure should be tying up a property for 90 days, stringing along a seller in trouble who likely won't have time to go through the short sale process a second time.

I've offered on several properties at this point, all SF with intention as buy and hold, but haven't yet closed a deal.My latest offer is on a Fannie foreclosed property, and will likely be asked to provide highest and best as another offer has come in during our negotiations.  

We now own our Duplex 5 days and we have not even caught our breath.  

we are cash buyers with intent to re-sell and we always make that clear.  

Hi All,Can you please help clarify some questions for me:Do I need any licenses for any reason to buy houses with the intent to rent them out? 

On the other hand, if it Was disclosed in the MLS, there was an intent to disclose to your agent, so then wat's a little muddy.  

It is your intent that counts.
