So I should wait then a few more months to finish out the 1 year, then can I get a conventioal loan towards a fourplex?

If it is now finished, then I would load it up with 50-100 pictures of the finished product, including interior photos.Why has price gone up $500,000?   

Great houses with finished and unfinished basements...

Then I say there is theoretically an easier way to finish this, the Bank can allow a deed in lieu of foreclosure.

Although I am happy with the finished product, I feel like we could have done more to increase the appeal.

Whatever your process, put it in writing so they can reference it when you tell them they were denied or that someone else rented it before they could finish their application.# of applicants: I don't set a limit.

And it has to be a true comp - a house with granite countertops and premium finishes is not a comp with a home that has "rent grade" finishes and laminate countertops. 

You've finished school, got a career, saved up enough money. 

All new everything: HVAC, roof, windows, all interior finishes and pool totally refinished.

They generally list ahead of time and sometimes even offer the buyer the opportunity to pick some finishes if they commit early enough in the project.
