When I referred to minor things yes, I included the insulation and some burnt lightbulbs, windows that don't open, a half working oven and dishwasher, and a tree growing next to the house tilting the condenser to the side and too close to the foundation (inspector and plumber said it will have to be removed to not mess up with piping under the house).

I have about half of my entitlement left.

Mine has the washer and dryer in it, mainly because of it's location it's very difficult to get one in an out of the laundry room/half bath.

Ideally, we would be looking for a long term rental in the other half, but realize this would be challenging given the zoning. 

If not, you could look for a duplex that will let you live in one half and rent out the other half.

The whole thing was an hour and a half, and all the financial details of the deal were discussed for ~3 minutes.

I started a half-million dollar complex renovation project for a rental property about a year ago with a 5 month deadline.

I've been devouring BiggerPockets podcasts, books, and courses for about a half year now and am at the point where I realize I need to start applying what I'm learning or I'm going to explode.I'm particularly interested in the Boise market because as I'm planning on moving there soon + house hack with a 3-12plex, but I have this feeling in my gut that everything there is extremely overvalued.

Bump half the property (any vacant units you can turn) once stabilized switch to the other half. 

To be honest the easiest and most accurate way to know every time is to do an application with a reputable bank/lender.
