You will get the accuracy you want while saving money.

I do believe that I am going to have to do some saving up as a form of cushion before I start this process.

If continuously, then you may be best off saving for a bit longer to save yourself all of the interest that comes with GAP funding in the long-run.

My wife and I are currently saving for our first property to rent out.

I have solid savings currently,  for down payment on what hopefully will be several properties.

The property was empty for 2 years and the seller was retired and did not want the maintenance therefore looking to get rid of it (2-unit building in front and ADU in back).

The applicant with esa/support animals pays nothing to sign up and petscreening will verify that they are properly registered as such and that they are not trying to claim that they are and save money on potential extra pet fees/rent. 

I recommend you focus on a job that increases income, allowing you to save up and invest.

Saving for a downpayment is obvious.

Take advantage of the discount as it looks like it could save you a lot in your painting project!
