I’m going to start, but can I do a loan to value with very little credit history to start?

There are small exceptions to that rule especially if the agent has a past history with a client that kicks butt but I hate to tell you it doesn't sound like you fit that bill for obvious reasons.  

While its active (The 13), debtor will need court/creditor/trustee approval and my history says they won't let you buy it directly but instead, will require it to be listed on MLS to expose the property to a broader buyer pool.

Up front, I would want to see the operating history for the last 12 months, the rent roll and the rent ledger (to see if anyone is behind).

Unlike the other loan types, you are not able to use 75% of the rental income for the units you will not be occupying to qualify for a larger amount, unless you are able to document a 12 month history of landlord experience.

Secondly, history never EXACTLY repeats itself; before the Mortgage Crisis, it was the Dot.com bubble.
