Homeowners have ALWAYS had the option to sell their own home. 

It sounds like you're in a challenging situation, but there may be some options to explore before considering selling your home.

But looks like an option. 

Registered agent as mentioned or a PO box would be your best options if you want to have it somewhere else.

But, for the sake of the renovation portion I would greatly appreciate the thoughts and opinions of what options you all recommend and what has worked well for you.

Articles of Organization (depending on the entity you choose), Statement of Authority, Operating Agreement (can be optional), Employer Identification Number (EIN).

This is a smart bunch so any sources or even logical approaches as to how one might find these numbers via research would be greatly appreciated :)I've done two separate top-down analysis based on census data, IRS data, and surveys, but those differ quite bit. 

There's also the option of sweat equity if you don't have the capital to pay for the remodel: In other words, buy the materials and do the work yourself over time.

A 1 agent sale is being considered as an option the only issue is how to keep the agent unbiased.

Maybe this person is willing to do a master lease potentially with option to buy (no, I wouldn’t but that’s me).
