I'm sure it's in the terms of service that we all click "accept" without thoroughly reading but know that what you post here might be read by a tenant.

Upgrades are needed to raise the rents but are minor and will take weeks not months. 

My background and focus is on raising capital.

There are services that charge a hefty fee for this, but can often be well worth it if the tenant stays and takes care of the place.Best of luck!

What we do instead is raise the rent above market rent. 

The 50% rule is related to expenses, which does not include debt service, so your down payment won't affect that.If you're not planning to live in the property, you will have to put down at least 20-25%.

I need suggestions on what type of companies I should be looking into for these types of services or what type of searches I should be conducting to find companies that do these all in one services.

Tenant paid me electronically using one of the major online services.

Right now we are in the middle of an equity raise for this deal.

I'm born and raised here in Colorado.
