Post appropriate signage; implement a system for violations that would incur fines; give proper notice to Tenants of the new  improvements; review recorded imagery to identify the culprits...either fine them if they are your Tenants, or file a police report if they are neighbors...with a color screen grab proving it.Having cameras in other areas give you eyes 24/7/365 and will pay for themselves if you follow through and use them regularly.

Happy to say we closed and everyone walked away happy as can be.Here are the numbers:Sale 445,000Comm 26,700Purchase 140,000Reno 120,000Legal 4,300Profit 154,000Partner 77,000 (before tax)Thankfully all through the year the market continued to go up…this was our saving grace as in the Spring the provincial government implemented some regulations that seriously affected the market…even if temporarily, but it would have most likely reduced our profits by 20-30%.So again, thankful for BP and this awesome community.

We’d love to implement your local presence there to make things happen as you start to delve in.

Since there is some value add from rent premiums, I'd suggest you implement that business plan and do a refinance to pull equity and deploy that capital on the next purchase, which can then syndicate using this deal as a great case study. 

I can't implement because the family is not onboard.

So, this became the lenders' defense against assumptions and "subject-to" transactions.I'm thinking it would take rather a large - and potentially economically devastating - interest rate increase to justify the expense of tracking down and prosecuting title transfers such as are being discussed here.If there were really any money it, rest assured a savvy programmer - like me - could subscribe to the appropriate services, download the data and develop reports available to lenders for a fee to identify title transfers without lien changes which would enable the banks to find out about them and investigate for possible prosecution.

That's definitely the strategy I'm planning to implement anyway. 

Contact your Section 8 office and they will provide you the instructions for implementing a rent increase.

Also it is important to note that it should be assumed for this discussion that these properties are operating at peak performance, i.e. all value add has already been implemented. 

Often the best use of your time is moving on, fixing the damages, and implementing a better screening processesI think going this route of trying to get them for damages will take you more time, energy, and money.
