All units are 2 bed 2 bath, ground floor, and have their own 1 bay garage. 

Where a normal Campanelli has 1300-1500 square feet and no second floor, this one had 2,600 square feet, including a 700 sq ft master bed suite added to the second floor.This idiot refused to comp it as anything other than a ranch, even though ranches by definition don't have a second floor.When a VA appraisal comes in low, any party can trigger the Tidewater Clause. 

The FHA says that examples of such problems include but are not limited to the following: Missing handrailsCracked or damaged exit doors that are otherwise operableCracked window glassDefective paint surfaces in homes constructed post-1978 (because of lead paint hazards)Minor plumbing leaks (such as dripping faucets)Defective floor finishes or coverings (worn through the finish, badly soiled carpeting)Evidence of previous (non-active) wood-destroying insect/organism damage where there is no evidence of unrepaired structural damageRotten or worn-out counter topsDamaged plaster, sheetrock or other wall and ceiling materials in homes constructed post-1978Poor workmanshipTrip hazards (cracked or partially heaving sidewalks, poorly installed carpeting)Crawl spaces with debris and trashLack of an all-weather driveway surface=================There are many areas, however, where the FHA does require problems to be remedied in order for the sale to close.Electrical and Heating The electrical box should not have any frayed or exposed wires.All habitable rooms must have a functioning heat source (except in a few select cities with mild winters).Roofs and Attics The roofing must keep moisture out.The roofing must be expected to last for at least two more years.The appraiser must inspect the attic for evidence of possible roof problems.The roof cannot have more than three layers of roofing.If the inspection reveals the need for roof repairs and the roof already has three or more layers of roofing, the FHA requires a new roof.Water HeatersThe water heater must meet local building codes and must convey with the property.Hazards and NuisancesA number of conditions fall under this category.

Might be possible to enclose the area where the pipes, water heater and furnace are and add a vent in the floor above to allow warm air into that area. 

I cleaned the property, it was filthy.

Since its a gut rehab down to the studs, it requires new plumbing, electric, some new framing, roof, floors, windows, doors, paint, trim, insulation, drywall, recessed lights, kitchen, 2 small decks, garage door, porch repair, re-concreting driveway, landscaping front yard and back yard (very small lot 2,200 sq ft).

We rent the apartment on the extended stay market which means we must do a deep cleaning frequently between tenants.

Have clean, safe, nice units at a fair price.  

This is more of a exercise at this point. but i am still going through the motions. originally site unseen i had a 45000 rehab based on pictures, i had a contractor friend of mine  look at the place and a rotten sub floor on the upstairs unit from a leaking roof brought rehab up to 80,000.

@Zach BallouDid you think about electric fire place...low cost and easy to install I know they look a bit modern but can install a nice mantel and some decorative trims around if needed or even some leadger stone panels from floor to ceiling surronding the fireplace would be an option also.Search ebay for electric fireplace for better idea.Good luck
