This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
Assigned content template to single post is not rendering when you display the single post
Solution:
Content Templates modify the content when called from the WordPress’ built-in the_content function. Some themes do not use the_content function, but define their own function. In this case, Content Templates are not applied to selected posts on the front-end.
To solve this, you can enter the name of the function your theme uses on the Toolset->Settings page, under the Front-end Content tab. You can find the appropriate field in Theme support for Content Templates section.
You can find proposed solution, in this case, with the following reply:

Currently learning Toolset and created my first project using a "Houses for Rent" scenario. I have got my custom post type setup with a group of fields and taxonomy. I created a Content Template then was able to create a View and put it on the website with search options and it shows and searches correctly. I'm not wanting the option to be able to click on one of the search results and it take me to the Single View of that item (i.e. my website.com/post-type-name/item-name) . When I navigate to that Single View, I have tried changing every setting I can think of, but I can't adjust the styling on this page. It just shows up like the attached screenshot. It doesn't show any of the custom fields, only the Post Title and Body. I tried creating another content template, another view, another layout, and linking them to the new Custom Post Type, but can't get it to update. What am I missing?
Unfortunately I'm running this on MAMP on a localhost as I learn, so can't send a link to login.
Thank you but I seem to have already followed those steps (which for record purposes, the link is missing the 's' at the very end for it to work properly).
If you see the attached screenshot you can see my two Content Templates. One being used in the View that has the search capabilities, then the other named House for Rent. House for Rent is already applied to both Single page and Post Type archive (not knowing what either do, so tried assigning it to both).
It still doesn't work when I go to website.com/post-type-name/item-name . It only shows Post Title and Body, like the original screenshot submitted.
If this is not enough information to find the issue/step I'm missing, I can submit a video showing whatever you'd like, or could do a screen share session if easier.
Thanks
