We are planning on renting out the MIL suite to a travel nurse or possibly putting it on AIRBnB (we live close to the beach).

You have owed utilities over $8000 to an utility company, so we had to live without water for 2 weeks.

I live, work, and invest in Kitsap County, WA - 12 miles due west of Seattle.

In the area of town I live and invest, there are already a lot of singles next to true duplex next to quads, so there is less scrutiny in general around it anyways.The things that I would primarily check is was the work permitted and approved as a separate dwelling unit.  

Hello,We are currently living overseas and want to buy a home for our return to the states. 

Guarenteed payments on the 1st, keeping up with market rates and mutual interest between the tenant and landlord to keep the property in good condition and to keep the tenant living there. 

If we buy a home subject to from a seller who is facing foreclosure, and that seller then has to rent someplace to live, how will the existing loan impact that ability?  

Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world.

I live in Elkhart, IN. 

We plan to have a property-manager and in 3+ years we will likely be living outside the US in Europe/Asia.
