I know of two groups that I believe could help you in this endeavor.

We like the approach of helping people to create good notes that we would be interested in buying if they decide to sell. 

Quote from @Noah Wright: Absolutely, happy to help --Thanks!

You should connect with a lender like @Jose Valdovinos who might be able to help you sort through this.

A good real estate accountant can save them thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend that they find a tax accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.I would also recommend that they look for a accountant willing to work with them throughout the year, who can help them strategize and who is responsive when they want to know the consequences of the financial decisions they are making throughout the year.Good luck.

Quote from @Sol Romand: I would say credit monitoring Thank you for the Help!

Feel free to reach out, happy to help! 

Adding and making better could sell or rent faster, but it won't get you more than what the market ARV and rent is set at from other similar comps in the area....and your Interior Design background will help, if you you it mostly as an understanding of cost. 

I could say a particular town or area, but if there aren't any, many properties for sale that doesn't help. 

so - call some lenders.hope that helps.
