Qualified as a triplex when I bought it. 

Should we ask potential buyes if they are pre qualified with a bank and show us that they are?

I certainly did not, and neither did the mortgage lender who  pre-qualified me.After closing on the HELOC  this week, I was reading through the docs last night and stumbled upon the Occupancy clause :"Borrower shall occupy, establish, and use the Property as Borrower's principal residence within 60 days after the execution of this Security Instrument and shall continue to occupy the Property as Borrower's principal residence for at least one year after the date of occupancy, unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or unless extenuating circumstances exist which are beyond Borrower's control"So I'm not sure what to do.

You will soon have plenty of qualified buyers (and some who are not qualified).
