I never want to have the reputation of being a soft touch for having paid bribes.

Again just not a good business practice to get into in my opinion Sending a courtesy notice is ALWAYS good business.walk softly and carry a big stick

Perhaps these units just need "soft turns" on turnover - carpet, paint, fixtures.

The best use for the deal analysis forum IMO is to get others with more experience to chime in on the "soft" estimates, to tell you if you're in the right ballpark, or way offGood luck with the close!

Appraisers can be touchy about someone pushing them too hard, so you will want to tread softly.

Not suggesting this from a “soft stance” point of view—but these professionals are probably more used to dealing with this kind of dysfunction and might have more tools up to and including the possibility of involuntary commitment

Even with that clause, I do not typically charge the tenants unless I can prove they caused the blockage.A clear case would be they flushed a rubber duck or a tooth brush down and that lodged inside the neck of a toilet. 

The small multifamily market is the only segment of residential in San Antonio that seems to be showing a tiny bit of softness so far.

With galvanized and CPVC once you start fixing it, you may create more leaks elsewhere in the system.Once you get past 50 years with galvanized (maybe in PDX a little more since we've got soft water), you're on borrowed time.
