From the commercial side you have more ability to force appreciation by increasing the NOI. 

I believe the owners with the majority ownership share forced the others to sell, but they weren’t cooperating. 

There were lease violations disrespecting the other neighbor's leased space and harassing the other neighbor and they smoked in the property against lease, lied about conversations, has made up stories about plumbing issues that plumbers couldn't find causes to, tried to get a dehumidifier and force me to pay, accused me on two different occasions very agressively in regards to the heat/electric service.

Economic pressures forcing landlords to adjust rental prices to attract tenants.For renters, this means more flexibility and savings, especially in historically competitive areas.

Although again the guys i funded that have 250 plus units probably have 10 mil or more in forced equity. 

My plan is to purchase a home that I will hold onto while hoping to gain both forced and time appreciation.

If you are open to value add strategy, small multis have potential for not only traditional forced appreciation but also the ability to see major rent increases.  

After talking to support (who were actually quite responsive and helpful), they told me I had to publish the ad with only one photo first and then re-post the ad with additional photos later to force the first photo to be first.

People are looking to live smaller or some are being forced to live smaller, hence the insane growth in apartments and storages.
