Have you identified a property? 

I recommend identifying your financial goals first. 

I'm not sure why you have an issue with "needed documents".

It might be wise to remove the listing, and relist as a brand new place now that you have a solid cleaner.Some of the comments show that the paint has issues etc.

One critical aspect we focus on is identifying and preventing fraud.

I think what you're really asking is how to identify good value areas where rents may be trending upward but the prices still remain relatively lower.An important metric is tenant household income to rent ratio.

Spend time driving for dollars in Tacoma neighborhoods to identify distressed properties.

As you get to this point your gaining more confidence in the options because you know option A and B had a certain outcome that wasn't option C, and this would give you more confidence you're doing the right thing for you.From there, I would be identifying properties to acquire if you don't already have some in mind and then my next sheet is creating the plan.

Additionally you can always write in what was done to correct it and explain that since then you no longer had issues. 

The key is identifying a home that is not cookie-cutter.
