My wife is super talented at decorating and turned it into a country farmhouse interior.

We have gone to places because they show kid friendly decor too.   

. * My wife is an interior decorator with kitchen and bathroom cad design experience, she is also a home stager and can help with plans and lay outs.* We have wholesale accounts with several large cabinet companies, and granite companies and can get huge discount on these supplies, along with flooring, roofing shingles, and carpeting and other supplies.* My personal credit score is 700 and I have personal rehab capitol, but not enough to cover the home purchase and rehab costs. 

The tenants have been there much longer than we've lived here and they treat the place like it's their own with seasonal decor, lawn care, and family get togethers.

Using "lit" light switches is a thing we love to do and the decor style might be more friendly to older people.

I reinvested proceeds from the rent collected from the first tenant, to spruce up the second bedroom (I call it the nature room) I added a full length body mirror, study desk, a few various wall decors, updated the listing pics (didn’t get to put in service the new comforter and pillows, since I’m still waiting on them to be delivered) changed two small details in my outreach marketing message, and it made all the difference in response rate from the female demographic; since the majority of travel nurses are females, I realized they would not feel safe/confident in booking from, who they presume, is a single male, so I included a profile picture of my gf and I.

Hi Jesse,Maybe Co-GP with someone who has successfully Value-added with re-habs on apartments of this size.Because based on this question, I'd say your chance of coming in on budget and on time is very low (especially with Covid shortages).Using an architect to help with color, landscaping, office design and decor, etc...might be worth it.This is a big project and in addition to handling the actual rehabs, you have to be concerned with your renters inconveniences, 7am chainsaws, water and electric shut offs, downed laundry faculties, pounding and buzz saws whirring all day long.You have to have a plan to appease their anger over this--or they will move out (when they would have stayed), increasing your turnover and decreasing your estimated cash flow.Having a management company that is familiar with re-habs might also be a help--some may also handle the re-hab for you for a (% fee).Good Luck!

For the record, we don't spend a lot of time in that "office" room (about 8~10 hours a week for each person -- communicating with the PM, coordinating with contractors, shopping for furniture and home decors, working on the guest book and website, etc.), but we don't use that room for any other purpose. 

Any of these would be no different than leaving towels, toilet paper etc.As for decorating, I would think that as you referenced it, then yes it would be like you are running a venue.
