The the HOA does not have enough funds, a lender may not lend on it.

Hi all,I browsed through a few pages of threads looking for an answer but did not see anything applicable.For the private lenders out there, what is the best/easiest program/application/platform to use to begin private money lending to others?

I’m actually not worried at all about the mechanics of managing the property, but California’s non-landlord friendly laws scare me to death. 

SBA lenders are confident the deal is lendable, but SBA rates at prime plus 2.5% are high, and I don't want to risk default.

Your mortgage lender may require you to occupy within a shorter time frame, which may be legal justification for giving a shorter notice.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Personally prefer SFR..Not sure about DFW but do have a realtor reference for you..be sure to budget for furniture and furnishings if not sold turn-key..a seller concession is a great way to preserve capital for MTR or STR's..check in with @Joseph Chiofalo for an investor friendly lender..he's excellent at helping structure loan programs for investments.

Do you know any lenders who give better conditions?

It would be prorated based occupancy verses non occupancy.2) moving back in for a few months wouldn’t get you the partial exclusion anyway.

I have spoken to a few lenders since the post and found a few who don't seem to care, or even ask if the work is permitted.
