Or perhaps short sales or auctions, though the financing is giving me pause.  

One of the markets we invest into in BC's interior currently (Kelowna BC) has less the 1% vacancy rate, the city is going to be opening up the rules for adding a carriage house (or lane-way house) thus giving us a great opportunity to add another rental unit onto an existing property.The banks however will be happy to lend once the project is done but leaves us with a short term cash challenge to get the approx 200k to get the project up and complete. 

A lender will give a little credit for a short duration off, especially in the same industry, rather than a long period of off time.  

A short sale, and all that entails, is the only option, prior to the foreclosure, and only if the lender will delay the foreclosure for the short sale.  

I am the head of a single-income household of 4, and after accidentally discovering BiggerPockets and Robert Kiyosaki, I've decided to move my family into my in-law's place (from Garfield to Bergenfield) in order to stop paying rent and begin saving serious cash for investing in the near future.I would like to start off with a duplex/triplex/fourplex as primary residence while collecting decent cashflow.

Will shoot you an email shortly.

If the seller is a private person you may be able to do a short term Wrap ( basically this is you wrap your mortgage around theirs).  

Since you're in Orlando, have you considered renting the rooms via airbnb (short term) instead of regular leases?

It is a short direct flight from New York.
