@Nold R.there are really three options for you to do this. 

Based on the value of a property you can likely get away with a inexpensive desk top study such as condos and you will require a more comprehensive engineering study for larger properties like a 4plex.Desktop / modeling options are sometimes good for smaller residential like you mention. 

However, if you have conveyed the information to them via some type of written from.. that is a good option to leave it to them on what their choice is and move.

You have two options: Pay the partial claim off out of pocket or do a short sale.

The other option would be going to local investor meetups and asking those who attend for good references. 

Using BiggerPockets sounds like an option, but I would appreciate hearing any suggestions you may have.

If you are looking to hold the property in a long term loan after the remodel, DSCR loans can be a good option.

Thank you I will search around for those options.

Try to narrow down your options to the top 3-4.
