One word of caution: value-add and forced appreciation really only apply to property 5-units+ that are valued based on the income approach. 3 unit deals generally don't benefit from this.That said, I'm sure the value of the property will indeed increase due to your improvements.

If I nailed a "7-day notice to quit" to his door for being a few days late, without trying a respectful approach first, I might find myself shopping for a nice box of chocolates. 

This may play a factor in the strategy on how to handle this situation.It doesn’t seem like there would be reasonable time for the seller to make a proper repair before closing, so best approach would be to request a seller credit.

If you get green lights from zoning, then you can approach the development department to see what their requirements will be. 

So there is an underlying relationship between your refi and the cash you'll have to reinvest to purchase at least as much as you sell.When folks are using the Brrr approach they'll try to leave enough equity in the property to be used as a sufficient down payment on their next 1031 property. 

Hard money has its place but generally, that's not for long term, it will eat you alive long term.Lot's of ways to approach this and many of the avenues work, what is best for your situation?

When the amount you are owed approaches 50% of your co-owner's equity, file suite to foreclose your lien. 

I would have to call their bluff to force a $25/month increase and they could leave (I doubt it but who knows) $10 : month hardly seems worth it but it all adds up How would you approach it?

@Caleb Heimsoth that sounds like the smart approach, and similar to what I’ve been thinking lately.

Hello,I'm wondering if people 1) use Automated Valuation Models (AVM) in the small-medium size mulitfamily space to spot under-valued properties by comparing the AVM price (the predicted appraisal value) to the list price (or the price you think you could reasonably buy the property at) and buying at a large difference (e.g. the Zillow Zestimate or Enodo: https://www.enodoinc.com/e-valuation.html) and 2) use any software to make a data-backed prediction of the ROI of various repairs for a BRRR approach (e.g.
