You are simply encouraging them to help themself.The more thoughtful and strategic you are in your presentation with potential investors, the more often you will win!

I knew in advance that I was buying this with a problem tenant and I am getting a credit at closing (my location is still very competitive and it is the only way I could win the offer).  

They will all most likely be base hits, but that's how you will win the ball game.

Eviction is more expensive for you, could take a lot more time if the tenant decides to fight you in court, and the tenant may win the court battle, not you.

I'm in it to win it and there is no stopping me from success!

As Dustin said if it comes in higher there's no added costs just bonus equity.

Even if it’s non-conforming there is always an appeal processes to get a variance and if you talk the them in the right way they can give you a good sense of what your chances are of winning the appeal. 

It was a win-win for both of us.

I learned a few things early-on...1.) don't be greedy - it never helps you win and brings you down more than it helps you grow.2.) be clear about your intentions up front. 3.) give back in some way when you win.that's it, man. 

Even if you win in court, you may never see the money.
