If you aren't in the state to change the locks, who's monitoring the home?

No, taking out a HELOC and spending it does not reduce your taxable capital gain when selling your home.

Resist the temptation to chase the average home buyer and seller that likely 100s or 1000s of other "realtors" are doing in your area.

For residential multifamily properties (1 - 4 units), can you use a home warranty to take care of the repair costs associated with rentals?

if there is appreciation, but you wouldn’t sell your current home tax free and buy a neighboring home to rent out, (There by raising your cost basis for additional depreciation and lower capital gains tax.) then it probably doesn’t make a good rental property. .
