Maryland’s DLLR site you mentioned is definitely a step in the right direction.

With no direction from an Engineer (or Architect) Contractors have no idea and will price out the scope of work they think is best even if it's not the best option. 

If you send me your wish list, I can guide you in the right direction. 

@Anade DavisFeel free to send me a direct message if you have any issues with our comps, or use the live chat on our website (blue button at the bottom right) to speak with our support team in real-time who would be happy to help you as well.

You don't discuss your investment properties or direct client wins.If you don't provide real-life examples of your success or your client's success, people will know you don't have the experience to help them.

Have you considered moving those funds into a self-directed IRA (SDIRA)?

I have a clause in the lease that says the security deposit will be held in so and so bank with so and so address and interest rate will be xyz.

For example, I recently made a loan to a house flipper, partnering with my self-directed 401(k) and Health Savings Account (HSA).

Direct marketing. 

I'd be heavily focused on mitigating that future tax liabilty rather than directly supplementing that income.
