My understanding is that Cincy Coin offers this as an alternative to having them manage the machines.

A better alternative is direct deposit at the bank. 

You might be able to finagle some of the expenses to be deductible, such as paint materials and etc. 

Any suggestions out there for alternative forms of financing?

It's time to crack open some reading material, I suggest getting some BiggerPockets books on flipping and rental properties, and start watching some videos on home inspectors and general contractors, they will help. 3 bed 3 bath is good because those are the houses that rehabbers are looking for. 

I keep all presentation material on a tablet in case I need to do a presentation, write a contract, listing agreement on the fly. 

Everything not just materials and construction management.

Feel free to add constructive criticism or offer alternative solutions.Thanks!

@Mary JayMary...I think you're focusing way too much on removing the rental activity from your 1040.If you're okay paying a higher effective tax rate on the rentals and materially higher professional fees each year, this is certainly achievable.
