If there isn't a large gap between what you can qualify for and the general market prices perhaps you can use a 203K loan and find a multifamily fixer upper at a deep enough discount.  

A judge may decide that they are entitled to some discount of rent for the time that the violations existed but we are talking about a month or so at the most and it sounds like the violations are minor so they have a weak case. 

Do they work well enough that you do not need to put one in every other non living space (i.e. bathroom, kitchen)?

$75260-32099 =$43161 Description Attention investors the opportunity knocks once at your door, this building don’t need to do anything, it has a newer roof, new windows, all kitchens and bathrooms upgraded, with ceramic tile, hardwood floors, and carpet; interior refinish include newer appliances.

The rebates/discounts are pretty great for owners on the smaller scale of commercial properties.I was wondering...is this something that commercial property owners are even interested in?

However, I would have made it more informational (like listing the sq ft, bedrooms, bathrooms, etc). 

Just need minor repairs, carpet, and walls bathrooms cleaned.

Don't expect a big discount unless it has been up for bids for a long time.

If yes, then it will be better value when you apply a discount to the UPB.8.

I still go to the tax database to see if the owner is getting a senior citizen or homestead  discount.
