The sliding door raddles so hard I almost thought it would break. 

After you set much of this up for the first property the costs for subsequent properties is fairly minimal.Good luck

With the seasoning period and the inability to subsequently unlock equity through a HELOC, the cash at close option (assuming there isn't a hard money lender there with you) creates way too many restrictions on the back end.  

Purchase Employer StockThe funds are wired from the 401k business plan to the Corporation bank account and stock certificates are subsequently issued along with the rest of the corporaiton documents (e.g., bylaws, meeting minutes, etc.).

Now the main questions we need answered are:If the seller didn't know that the subsequent construction work they did created a situation where the furnace was no longer up to code, are they liable for costs to bring it up to code?

Over the years, I kept and reused my "explanation letters" to underwriter questions about my business - it saved me a TON of work in subsequent applications.Underwriters tend to give SE applicants a hard time, so when they did that to me, I researched underwriting rules on the Fannie Mae website and argued back and they would back down.

I would save your HELOC for short term funding, like repairs or down payment on a flip where you intend to repay quickly with sale proceeds and reborrow for subsequent projects to maintain and build your credit history on this HELOC  Also, you might present this as a private investor opportunity, but you would need to show your analysis, hold time, expected returns, etc.
