CaribbeanGet business cards made that simply says "real estate specialist" and your contact info of course.

@Tyrell Perry, I thought the idea of Lines of Credit (secured against your CURRENT property equity) is that you don't need to say what you need the money for ie. much like a Credit Card!

Send her flowers with a card that says "I'm very sorry I wasted your time."

The financing contingency is the easy "get out of deal free card" on any real estate transaction.

For me this is nice, because it clearly lays out my payment plans for my various debt sources (I had consolidated my credit cards and bought my fiance an engagement ring), so I never need to question "How much should I pay this month?"

If you pinch pennies... maybe pay some bills with credit cards for a couple months while saving pennies, you should be able to save 6k in a few months.  

Forgive my rookie question.

The line of credit acts more like a credit card in that you can use the cash to fuel your investment, but you have a period where you can (typically anyways) pay interest only.

I do not want make a rookie mistake and forget about the opportunity cost just because I've heard it is good to pay off your mortgage quicker.
