@Khanesia Washington thank you!

Hello BP, I'm a new investor located in Pasco Wa (Tri Cities).

What cost per square footage number do you use to evaluate those costs? 

I just got a triplex under contract in Tacoma, Washington, and during my VA loan process I learned that I can get up to $6k in energy-efficient improvements attached to my mortgage.

My day job is as a Regional Director w/ a non-profit that serves this population so I am relatively familiar w/ the process, which includes large agencies contracting w/ home owners to lease their properties.

However I have never seen (or been party to) a disclosure form saying "Broken light cover in master bedroom", "Chip in kitchen counter", "Square cut from carpet in closet".

Hi @Brittany Washington Question 1, what does your lease say and what do the relevant laws say?  

If you don't have the yard square footage, things get more complicated fairly quickly.Having been through the process a couple times already, I would recommend having Kekai's Pumping or Akamai Pumping find the cesspool and check it out before closing to assess your risk of near-term failure.

Vancouver WA I5 Corridor from Eugene, OR to Centralia, WA Huntsville, AL Phoenix, AZ Las Vegas, NV Houston, TXWe are also exploring all sort of Buy and Hold/BRRRR properties from SFR to Small Apartment Complexes.

If you are considering this type of investment, the quickest way to analyze cash flowing properties would be through the four square method.
