Further, how do I demonstrate proof of funds on a HELOC (ie, the equivalent of a pre-approval letter for a loan)?

City attorney is not responding, so, I'm going to have to bite the bullet and pay it at closing tomorrow.

Or take a bullet train.

I have proof that the tenants are paying on time, and have the current rental agreements to look over.

Have chat gpt refactor your listing description - use bullet points for most of the information as it’ll be easier to read.Priecelabs offers training videos, watch a bunch and dial in your pricing strategy.

Then we take time to review proof of income documents, picture ID, check landlord references, etc.

A tenant destroyed a garbage disposal with a shot glass- the next thing in my lease was tenant payment for repairs not coming out of security deposit and specific terms for hourly labor charges. 

A mentor isn't a magic bullet though.

@Nana Sefa Just this past year I had an issue where I had a property that I did NOT get title insurance on it and something major came up with a right of way from back around 1874 and the buyers bank held off on the closing until proof of the right of way could be found.

Which makes the profitability of the house much less than what I thought it would be when I bought it.Cost to improve sound proofing and separate air ducting would be quite large, given BayArea contractors' costs.
