I know the cashflow isn't a pretty picture, but I feel it is the right thing to do.

Real estate brokers and builders try emotion adverting with pictures of families at the top of their ads..

For instance a new investor or a hungry real estate agent or appraiser that can go out take the pictures for you, take pictures of the comps, give you their overall impression, etc.

i have a firend going through this here in tampa. she just (last week) had to go to the home and have her pictured taken infront of the studs in all rooms to prove that they pulled out all the drywall, wiring, and plumbing. this is a lennar development. they put her up in a 4000 sq ft home until the completion (about 6 months) of her home. i personally would have had them purchase the home for the original purchase price and walked away seeing that her 180k home is now selling for 120k (3 years old).
