I would consider it if the stays were a week or longer, but in my experience the difficulty of cleaning does not drastically go up after a few days, it is still the same work.

I consider a couple of strategies. 

They had it set to 12 months and I'm hoping it will be stretched to 24 months.

First thing I would do is get a set local that you want to work within. 

In my state that would be an expensive change as I would be paying state transfer tax on the move along with other costs plus I would need to consider whether I wanted to buy title insurance on the property for the new LLC.

The contingency is set up to protect you.

I also agree that credit score is just one metric to consider. 

Credit is stellar (800+) and I was considering cash out equities on the free and clear properties plus capital reserves to use as 25-35% downs on property(ies) up to 800k total (if not partnering). 

I consider real estate low risk. 

Since loans are considered securities, most states require a security exemption, which can be prohibitively expensive.At least one state, California, automatically grants licensed CA real estate brokers an exemption without requiring them to go through the expensive registration process.
