Your contract could have a 30 or 60-day close date.

All I do to show proof of funds when making a cash offer is take a screen shot or printout of my online bank account summary, making sure that it shows my name and that the total available balance is higher than my offer. 

I am able to view the recorded mortgage amount, date mortgage recorded, and name of lender.

Are they on a set date every month, and what is the location. 

If you have 20% down and good credit, you should be able to get a hard money loan for this.Convincing a homeowner in pre-foreclosure to sell to you when it's that close to the auction date, that would be the tougher part.

I really want to tour the properties I already own as well as get to know some of the neighborhoods that I'm looking at online daily.

They are usually pretty easy to find online.

My question is this:In negotiating with this lender for the second mortgage, how likely am I to be successful to work out a deal before the auction date?

I feel that’s a bit too much, especially since my closing date is May 30th.

Now, I'll just say: congrats on your success to date, and keep buying winners!
