I will present two (somewhat technical, sorry) points that are essential for the specific question asked by OP.1.

As an agent, my value is boots on the ground w video tours, comps, rental data, and everything else needed to invest from afar. 

However when I choose a property im considering putting and offer on, I run into issues like existing tenant or vacant with repairs needing to be made before rent ready which is essentially what I’m looking for to force the equity myself.The problem is that I’m unable to find PM or contractors willing to translate what the inspections are showing, what needs to be dealt with, and for how much before closing.  

Your tenant sends you a video of a burst water line.

And they had this new factory built (que drone videos).  

As for general rent increases, if tenants can pay and are just low on rent then we generally come in and offer a lease at near if not just about average market rent for the unit in the area maybe a smidge under market the idea being if they stay they are getting a deal and don't have to move and I don't need to redo the unit but the rent is essentially up to market.  

Essentially, the landlord can only evict if the tenant violates specific requirements.What do you think?

Creating an LLC before purchasing your first investment property isn't essential, but it provides liability protection by separating personal assets from property risks. 

Building a strong, high-performing power team is essential for any leader aiming for long-term success.

The reduction is computed by subtracting from the actual rent the estimated value of the apartment without the essential services.
