You do not own the building, so no choice but to have the inspection. 

Forcing appreciation is possible, but you must be very strategic about how you renovate.

Strategic Purchase: Acquired a discounted double lot below market value with a $17k impact fee credit.Custom Design: Built a 6-bed, 5-bath home tailored for co-living or multi-gen use, maximizing tenant appeal.Efficient Management: Managed construction, and self-managed operations to minimize costs.Premium Marketing: Furnished the property and used multiple platforms to attract quality tenants quickly, achieving full occupancy.What was the outcome?

With that said, a lot of people take the cost-benefit, but no one can argue it's a smart choice, just a frugal one.

Leveraging equity and planning your next move with strategic financing is an excellent way to build your portfolio.

But the only strategic thing about them is that you need to keep good records and hire a tax professional who knows how to maximize the tax savings from things you already paid for. 

There are choices at every turn that form the story.

couple of bullet points to bring up:* she's on M2M* I told her on 12/7 of the new rent which would apply to a new Jan. 1 effective lease, this is when I got the "I'm moving out" message* Sent her the move-out letter on 12/11, with options for her to either be moved out by 12/31 (she's fully paid up for month of December) or by 1/11 (30 days from date of notice) and pay a pro-rated rent based on her CURRENT rent amount. her choice, either is fine with me.With all that said, I'd love to do as you mentioned and post a notice on her door. 

Now buried into terms of the LOANS it says borrower can, at borrowers choice simply stop any payment requirements????

The time for them to negotiate the price was when they got the appraisal done-they didn't, so too bad.Two choices-take the $5K and relist with a new realtor or negotiate with them for the $24K they are short.
