During the next phase which might include construction or rehab of a building/house it’s not uncommon to get constructing/temporary financing.

@Brent CoombsYes I am willing to utilize a hard money lender for a short term temporary fix. 

I think there will be some things along the way that you may not particularly like but as long as you remind yourself that these are temporary steps along the way to bigger and better things, you'll maintain your motivation and perspective.Ten rentals is aggressive but that was also my intention.  

Yes my wife does ... ever since she tried to convince me to sell a property back in 1999 that we were offered $189,000 for, (I paid $62,000 back in the mid '80's when I bought so many).I convinced her to let me keep it & rented it for a nominal caretaker fee of $1200/month to a series of divorced/separated friends needing temporary accommodation.3 years ago it needed a lot of rehab so she just wanted to sell it 'as is'.

They are going to have to understand and endure the temporary inconvenience of the remodel.

I don't do owner-occupied, unless it is a short-term bridge loan, because there are exemptions for temporary financing and bridge loans, regarding many of the rules and compliance.  

Your stay there is temporary as you said, so make sure the deal is going to make sense when you leave and it is a buy and hold.  

If it's income, you need to know whether it's temporary or chronic.

Meanwhile, get a friend who is a realtor to get temporary MLS access.

We will also provide incoming tenants with temporary storage facilities for their furniture while we finish work)
