Basic staging with an agent usually means they give you insight into how you should:Declutter and depersonalize by removing photos and personal itemsArrange your furniture to improve the room’s flow and make it feel biggerAdd plants, move art, or re-arrange other accessoriesFull-service staging is another option if your house needs more hands-on attention.

You also have to be super detail-oriented, focused on continuous improvement regarding the property and guest experience, very in-touch with what it's like to be a guest at the property (and a cleaner of it as well), and focused on technological tools and opportunities. 

The real issue that can and has reoccurred more than anything else IMO is that the original seller cannot just waltz out and get a new loan after their credit has improved.

@Nate Pucel The depreciation basis for a rental property includes the purchase price plus the cost of renovations and improvements that add value or extend the property's life.

If we rent to own, they are OK, but we cant refinance because we don't have the deed.Are there any unique scenarios to help us get the property for little money out of pocket, we have the ability to have the deedSign a lease agreement with a purchase option that allows you to buy the property at an agreed price at the end of the lease term, consider establishing a partnership with the seller to jointly invest in property repairs and improvements.

A HELOC is a great way for you to self-fund the improvements.

I would focus on improving your credit and obtaining a more stable income so that conventional financing is an option.
