I have the contact information of an off-market homeowner, should I contact him now or after I get pre-approved for an FHA loan/hard money loan?

I think you should call.  If they are open to seller financing, your 2nd question may not matter at all!  I know some investors who have gotten a killer deal just door-knocking for seller financing deals.  Just focus on being yourself and make it clear what you're looking for.
