You'll likely get something with much less equity if you want it to be livable with no big cash deposit to upgrade before you move in.

I have $5k cash for upgrades.

It might be a good idea to be conscious of that and deal with a few bucks less until this pandemic thing clears up. 

Then when you get hundreds, upgrade your network to people who have thousands of doors.

We did upgrades to the cabinets, the countertops, and had some vinyl plank flooring installed.

Or would they just look at the last two years of full time work I had there, conscious that the hours there were recovered elsewhere?

Should have invested more to upgrade building and used a different broker for leasing Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I would love to see pictures of the upgrades. 

The last five years has been a cluster f of naive, inexperienced, poorly capitalized and unprepared wanna be real estate investors ( feeling fully “empowered” by obtaining information via books, video, on line websites, seminars, etc) buying properties that can’t possibly cash flow positively, especially in the long run when worn systems, such as HVAC systems, roofs, plumbing, electrical will need to be replaced or upgraded.
