I have found a contractor to come and patch the ceiling to complete the repair.

Watch youtube videos on how to fix faucets, patch drywalls holes, painting techniques, etc.

Square off a drywall hole so you can patch it clean, cut open those hard-to-open plastic packaging for a new lockset you're installing...you can always use a knife.4.

There are plenty of commercial rental loan products that don't require W2 income (patch of land, lending one etc.)

From patching together everything that has been stated here. 

My unit did need the floor resurfaced, new painting, patching and other minor cosmetic things done to it.

If, like many houses, that crack has been there like forever and hasn't gotten any deeper/thicker than like an eighth of an inch, run down to your local home improvement store, buy a small container of wall patch, sand paper, a putty knife, some matching paint and a paintbrush.

Hopefully, all you would need to do is cut open the drywall and patch it back up again. 

As said before, it's not a hard fix usually; at most a few holes to patch, but you wanted to paint anyway...right?
