I’m a home improvement contractor so I’ve done flips, new construction, roof raise and full renovations.

I have come up with 1) adding a dormer to raise the ceiling, 2) sprinkler system 3) opening up walls on the main corridor so its considered opened though I'm not 100% this solves my issue and 4) completely fireproofing the main corridor.

I"ve owned it for 2 years and 3 month and have been slowly but surely rehabbing each unit, raising the rent, and getting tenants in them. 

This implies that most of our RE investments are returning infinite return on investment.We raise the rent over time. 

What is the best and fastest way to raise our credit scores and find financing to start with our first property?

If it is really gnawing at you, perhaps try to raise some of your concerns to the seller to perhaps get a credit or a slightly better deal. 

That raises another problem: the Courts in my state are shut until April 1, and while that may not affect me in the near future it certainly will if this goes into May or June.

I'm brainstorming how to acquire the property with my 1031 escrow funds and, sometime AFTER acquisition, raise equity for the deal that would "take out" most of my equity. 

There is only so much the fed can do, and the federal government will be forced to raise taxes at some point.

You might have to look for deals where you need to add value to the property and be able to raise rents.
