Would greatly appreciate anyone's help in finding leads.

you can give the walls and ceilings a cleaning using TSP before painting and sealing as suggested.also you only need to remove one side of any shared walls for full access if you really wanted to see everything vs electrician cutting access and patch.I would say you should remove all the trim to get a good seal behind, and help update.

Hi @Debbie PalmerIf the primary purpose it to defray costs for caring for pets, perhaps the below site would be helpful?  

I also have a close connection with an experienced developer and is willing to help mentor/guide me through looking at homes and answering my questions.
