Those are the ones that "get it" in my opinion.Few comments to consider:sounds like you are on the right track with the credit score.  

James, you should consider writing a blog post about your process; I'm sure there's an incredible amount of learning to be taken away from your experience.Best of luck in the transition period !

Do you have credit scoring requirements?  

Ask for whatever you can get from the agents - proof of funds, credit scores/mortgage prequalification letters, proposed settlement dates.

Do you have a credit score in the high (very high) 700's, are you very responsible with spending, with debt?  

You need to take advantage of the long term fixed rates you can get with a secondary market loan when you are beginning as they become harder to obtain as you grow.I am not suggesting the LLC because there is an incredible need for it, especially if you aren't going to have much equity, but rather as part of the process.I have always believed if you don't do things correctly when you are small, you will not do them correctly when you are big.This conversation doesn't really even get to the heart of why you may want an LLC to protect what you may have accumulated in wealth so far in life non-real estate.Thanks,

Andrew Bergen I have scored two homes here, UC and Bay Park, and while both were flip and hold, I could have easily cashed out with solid profit.

You should explain the consequences of staying the house until after foreclosure are:When they go 30/60/90/120 days past due on mortgage, their credit score declines.

I was able to score two homes in nice neighborhoods and even though they were on the retail market, we moved in with great offers. 

Low score, accounts in collection and a recently repossessed car.
