there is not a lender that i know of that would lend any kind of HELOC or mortgage if you are not technically the owner of the property.

The problem here is NOT evidence, it's information deficit, you my friend Albert are simply not informed of such because like the population of U.S. at mass you do not keep informed of such, and understandably so, it's rather "dry" boring and very technical stuff. 

Dislocated staffing.

Well, technically, you have to wait until the order is final and non-appealable, 42 days after the judge's order.The "older system" (still used by some counties) is the one that allows possession.

Thank you @Sam GhiSo I will start out with saying that while I’m technically a “Sophisticated Investor” when it comes to real estate, I am not a passive investment expert beyond that field.  

Additionally, you may qualify for the owner occupant exemption if you live in a unit within a 4-plex (or smaller), where you would technically be exempt from the fair housing act, but this exemption may not extend to your individual state or municipality. 

My PM failed to let me know about the 21 day itemized rule, let alone initiate conversation with the the tenants for repairs and those tenants are refusing to pay anything past $4100 due to that technicality.  

They are also self employed but showed low income (technically does not meet our monthly income requirements). 

Technically L&I does not have to issue a new rental license after the 3 year period has lapsed but sometimes it does.

Can these be tax write offs (home office, phone, car expenses, etc) even though I won't technically be making money for some time until everything is completely built and leased?
