I'd show that GC some renovation options for potential rehab strategies.

I just wanted to see what would be the best option to sell it quicker.

I would give the tenants the option of moving somewhere else or accepting the situation.As you pointed out, your "therapist" is using your residential rental as a business, which is a violation of your lease.

It is in a small town with few options for rentals available.

Presumably, equity will increase, and if all the experts are right, rates will go down leaving you with an exit option of selling or refinancing. 

Either option would cash flow around $300/m.

It might be cracking and heaving inward which might require both dealing with exterior ground moisture and also stabilizing the foundation from the inside with one of a few options.

These violations are to fix porch, roof, and masonry work. bids that have received are totaling up to $150k.I'm looking to see what options are recommended to finance that additional rehab work needed to clear violations. 

If the agent refuses to present the offer you can avail yourself of the nuclear option and present the offer directly.

Why not purchase several because each property can pay for itself and I am seeing all of these lenders flooding my Facebook now that I have googled some loan options- and so many offer 100% financing... what am I missing here?
