As long as it is in pre-foreclosure, there's usually a buffer between pre-foreclosure and foreclosure, there maybe stipulations regarding power of attorney, however it is best to speak with a foreclosure attorney.

Any multis w/ 2 or less units, you usually have to supplement your living costs.

Before I get pre-approved, I want to know if I should take out a HELOC on my first home before or after?

I do have a hard money lender that does nationwide lending that already pre-approved me and also provided me with POF.

That gives him three months to find gainful employment and ensure he can afford future months, and it gives me a double deposit in case it doesn't work out and I have to evict or something. 

@Adrienne Green Pre-covid I swore I would never rent again in my life..but after looking to buy for over a year in the greater Portland (Maine) region, I'm about ready to throw in the towel.

I am looking for a solution which I can send out leases to tenants for pre-leased units and then ultimately hand them over to the property manager once the project is complete. 

They are pretty straight forward if you use one of the pre-packaged online services.
