I think that they will help make a difference.I do think that letting a pro go to town with a ton of touch ups on the pics create an artificial look.

Temple Hospital, school of medicine, and pharmacy are close like 1 mile away, a 3 min drive or 15 min walk.

I work as a Travel Medicine provider but Chicago is my home.

I do not have a real estate background since I work in medicine.

You are no richer for doing so.Your best financing options will come from loans taken in your own name.Theoretically, you might qualify for more loan proceeds if you have a high rental amount but if you artificially increased rent by renting it from yourself, you have committed fraud and that creates all kinds of other potential problems for you, so I wouldn't recommend it.

:)I thought about leaving the retro look and replacing the vanity and medicine cabinet too but not sure...

For example, any food and medicine have to be vacated for the tenting.

Military personnel have a huge pay range, from the low paid new recruits, to the well paid senior leaders, and everything in between.Fannie/Freddie have loan limits, but theirs is an artificial world focused on owner-occupants.

Also, in my opinion, 2020 and 2022 have nothing in common.  2020 was right before the government dumped trillions of dollars on the economy, allowed people to thrive and not work, handed out money like it was worthless, artificially kneecapped interest rates, etc. and 2022 was right after. 

The market has been artificially inflated as the foreclosure and eviction moratoriums have prevented a lot of distress inventory from entering market.
