If you don't ask for too many documents (lenient screening process) you can find a tenant way faster than if you ask for things like; credit score, employment verification, pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, etc.

@Brian Corbett I know very little about Greenville but if it has any compelling growth drivers such as big employers moving in or a burgeoning tourist area, I would definitely be interested in hearing more.

You can select various SOWs for kitchen, baths, etc, and it will create as separate worksheets for each area in the same spreadsheet.However, it is not as simple as it sounds and the size of document is difficult to share with contractors to make their bids. 

I may even soon be able to take advantage of expense free housing provided by my employer, which will help to further work towards my goals.

There are budget contingencies of typically 20% depending on the size of the project.

Recently self employed and don't qualify for conventional HELOC.

I love it too and I never thought about the screening aspect, however it's my assumption that most gainfully employed biz professionals will be good tenants (more or less). 

Not every bed is the same size, and if you have more/less sq. ft. per the bedroom average, you might need to adjust (hopefully towards the positive). 

That's a tricky one, @Darren Greenwalt - there's lots of competition in the 4-5BR size, so you're going to be trying to separate yourself from them with your luxury amenities.  

If in the comprehensive it shows your use industrial use then check out the required rules such as; lot size, required parking, lot coverage, FAR, etc.
