A licensed electrician at bare minimum should know the minimum code requirements for your area .

@Nathan Gesner - I tested the fan with all tenants present and I could barely hear the fan.

@Sang Yu - if you have solid income, as you say you do, then saving a down payment over the course of a year or two shouldn't be an issue.If you want to do some bare minimum stuff, live in your current place 12 months, go buy a new place that you will live in for another 12 months putting 5% down (or have a lender run numbers to see how much VA entitlement is remaining), and convert the old place to a rental right at that 12 month mark. 

In general, even if your operation falls under the exemption of fair housing laws, I would recommend only write the bare minimum in a denial letter.

@Nate Slappey IIIAnd now it stopped working again and all I see is two versions of an expanded view and the toggle barely makes a difference.  

So it's not bare dirt.

The rent/price ratios are terrible and so far it seems like even if I can find the perfect BRRRR deal, the rent will barely cover the PITI (at least for SFR).

They can not pay 2 months rent to get out of the lease, most can barely pay the rent.

No dates, no showers barely any food....A few months later it started to take effect!

The buildings I have seen are at prices that barely cover actual capital expenditure needs after debt service.
