Due to the high prices, bidding wars, and waiving contingencies in Seattle, we decided to buy in Bremerton. 

It sounds like they're using a contract that they wrote, and one page won't cover all the numerous issues that can come up in a RE transaction.But there are ways to protect yourself - the inspection is a good start, also get leases and estoppel letters if that 3rd unit is occupied.

I listed a property recently that we purposely were trying to get a bidding war going on.

With that said, if you continue to rent you will have numerous tenants.   

Here's a recent one that suggests PenFed: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/897411-need-a-line-of-credit-on-a-non-owner-occupied-rentalAnd another one from a few days ago that suggests TD Bank (and also mentions PenFed and US Bank): https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/898504-td-bank-heloc-investment-propertyAnd there's numerous lenders listed in this post from a couple months ago:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/49/topics/879963-helocs-on-investment-propertiesYou'll just need to call around. 

I was also thinking about long-term for example I see pre-war homes on the market, and if you are a buy and hold investor you might be owning that asset for another 10-20 years, which in theory necessitates a remodel at some point in the future..

I’ve bought numerous properties that I’ve never been inside, but I buy them at about 10% of appraisal from what I can see of the property.

By 12pm the next day I had a bidding war and they paid 15k over asking price.
