There are tons of companies offering data append and skip trace services.

@Renard Miller I have seen cases where a landlord either didn't collect them or traded services for the deposit.

The whole first floor is gutted down to the studs, all walls and floors.

(Due to circumstance - more so than some freedom walkout retirement announcement)When applying for a commercial loan - I've read that the loan is based mostly on the property's income to loan servicing amount.What impact will not having a W2 have in this process?

For the rehab, I like the idea of vinyl plank flooring, semi-gloss paint (because I've heard some people say it holds up better with tenants), new cabinets, counter-tops, appliances, popcorn ceiling removal,  light fixtures, new water heater, fans, new windows. and something to put on the concrete that kills bad odors.What would you do?

Ideally you get one person who does everything but sometimes that is not practical or realistic so you figure out what is best weighing cost and providing quality service to your community. 

Although they were credible they would take you through success stories and tutorials of previous students who had scored big from using their services.

Unit 1 is first floor and basement, unit 2 is second floor and third floor. 

I have been using both of the above for various things the last few years during my day job and plan to use one for my personal business as well.You do not need to be "an agent" to use a service like this... even my doctors office uses docusign for new patient signup.

@Chris Hodge depending on where you live, there are actually companies/services that will take care of getting the information for you.
