I'm trying to brainstorm ways to do minimal damage to my credit while still borrowing for more homes and increasing my debt load.

I was not going to risk the chance that the seller would delay to negotiate and get a better offer from someone else.

@Bill Coleman I'd have zero concerns about the Feds and law enforcement and minimal concerns about potential property damage if, indeed, the applicant has experience with indoor grows.  

The vendor shall notify (xxxYOUxxx) of any delay within (xxxxxx) hours of any delay causing discovering or setback. 

By doing so, my exit is quicker and the chance of buyer default is lower.3) You don't stop at minimizing risks, you have to prepare and decide what you're going to do if the risk happens anyway.

The attorney's generally discuss the perimeters of the contract to ensure everything is adhered to and the title company ensures funds are distributed properly & check for any outstanding issues that might delay closing. 

The shortened link tackles the issue of providing an easy way for a person to pull up the property on their smartphone while minimizing the amount of work on the user's part. 

As a newbie with minimal investing experience, I felt that it was overall a waste of my time.

That's where your paid saleperson comes into play... they don't get a split they worked for nada on that property, broker is still compensated 1% for his license / insurance.Unless you are trying to pull money away from the rehab entity for tax purposes I would stick minimizing the cost rather than getting a return check (which is what we do: we are structured across 3 companies: rental, construction/flip, and brokerage). 

HUD had investigated the reason for the delay.
