Just like orange juice or wheat or pork bellies. 

It could easily exceed their deposit and all you can do after that is garnish wages but hard to squeeze any juice from a dry lemon.

Seller is stuffing tenants to juice the numbers. 

Even though not student oriented, the crush of students looking for rentals, do add some competitive juice to people looking at my SFRs. 

I went for the lowest hanging fruit to gather as much information as possible.

You've got more than enough to get your juices flowing here.

relative to the price points post GFC IE 09 to 2012 were there was lots of low hanging fruit and the 2% rule was alive and well :)..

Plus, this does not sound tremendously dated or obsolete building situation (built mid-century and updated since)....I do, though, like when landlords are responsible and don't squeeze all the juice out of the lemon and exit stage left (and pass on all the deferred capital costs to a less informed buyer, like a hot potato).

I'm not sure there's enough juice to squeeze for that.Maybe a "master lease option" with a mix of repair options: ie: if it's an expense above $1000 they have to pay for it otherwise I would?

Max, I think the low hanging fruit here would be a simple HELOC.
