At our department if we have to use force to enter a residence automatically a report is done and then you would file a claim with the city.

I inspected the deck and it looks to me some force was needed to brake it like a jump from something high not just stepping on but that’s neither here nor there.

However, With substantial management changes as noted above, to force appreciation and ROI, we could expect vacancy turnover and potential loss in eviction initially.

This lead me to try to force the numbers to work so I could hit my purchase target. 

I am primarily interested in small multis in the Saint Paul, Minneapolis, Minnesota markets.Eventually I would like to be doing 5+ unit properties because valuing them and forcing appreciation based on performance makes a lot more sense to me than comps and market whims.

It seems counter-intuitive and may be counter-intuitive, but if you think about building a scalable business model, this is one way to force that.

This forces them to justify their cost with more details, which gives you a better understanding or justifies your request for a lower price.

It has also forced me to answer the questions I wouldn't have known how to ask.

We pulled the pad up as best we could...only to discover the staples were the least of our problems.I started by scraping it with this large scraping tool that enabled me to stand up and put some real speed/force behind it.

@Julio ContrerasI'm still in the process of getting the loan, but my mortgage broker doesn't see it as an issue.If you pay the full PMI upfront, you'll never get that money "back" - so if you are going to rehab the house and do some force-appreciation that might get your LTV below 80% in 1-2 years - it probably makes sense to pay the PMI  as a monthly payment, so it'll drop off and save you some money.I am paying ~2% of my loan (~$3,500, i think) upfront/amortized into the loan to avoid the extra $133/month PMI payment.
