On the surface, it seems like a good fit as I would be preparing all of my proforma and scheduling info no matter the funding source so why not pitch it to investors?

For small areas, a bleach solution can work, but be cautious of potential surface damage.

I'd go with stained or polished cement With stained they can usually add and 1/8th" or so overlay (they then stain the overlay) so any preexisting stains or anything is fine Polished cement (in my experience) is the opposite - they essentially remove 1/16-1/8" of existing cement, so surface stains will be removed but anything that has really soaked through may still remain to an extent Yes water will get trapped between the LVP and existing cement/water barrier - for this reason I would not do LVP Could go tile - but why would you when you can stain/polish it for cheaper and not worry about cracked tiles years from now when you can't get a replacement 

@Kalei WhiteNot sure how the numbers look just with the surface-level info in the post.

I still have a lot to learn and I think I just scratched the surface of Financial Intelligence.

On the surface it looks like a solid rental but the things you mentioned give me cause for pause.

This Section allows you to exclude $250k ($500k if you're married) of the gain on the sale of your primary residence.The tax advantages of converting the property to a rental would be the ability to write off all business expenses, including depreciation and interest expense on the HELOC, against rental income.These are very surface-level tax advantages - for a more in-depth and personal analysis, you should consult with a CPA regarding your specific situation.

Investing in painting equipment really pays off but it takes more time than you think to learn how to apply paint to any surface.

I won’t be missing out on anything.IMO, while these rules sound good on the surface, under scrutiny many exceptions can be sited.I especially have a problem with 4.  

This is imperative, so nothing is bubbling underneath the surface.
