@Daniel MadhavapallilYou should hire a tax professional. 

PMC is the professional that will have the most alignment with your goals - agents, lenders, inspectors, etc., are ONLY transaction based.A PMC has to deal with your property, tenants & maintenance EVERY DAY until you sell or terminate them.A great PMC can provide contractors and also check out properties for you. 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Thank you for your professional guidance.Sincerely, 

Would you mind sharing your professional opinion on which of these kitchen designs would sell better?
