It seams like someone willing to squat and force you to do an eviction would do the same whether on a long term lease or a month to month.Do you still have to do the eviction process to get a constable to remove them from the premises?

Check closely to see if there are any limits for how long the property can be vacant.Some policies can cost up to $2,500 a year for a detached home if it is forced onto the property by the lender.

So even if it is 50% their responsibility, that doesn't mean you will be able to force the cost on them. 

And usually some forced equity but they are still  limited by cash on hand.. if we run the numbers and a good rule of thumb with max debt on the asset at least as it relates to SFR type rentals is that 200 per month per door.. which is basically a higher touch C class type area..

Hi all,I’m a beginner investor, but if you purchase a home that is move in ready with the intentions to renovate a 2bd/1 ba into a 3bd/2BA will this create forced appreciation resulting in added equity?

:The data is not the problem, the problem is potentially being rejected by underwriting because the predictive FICO model deems you as high risk.I would imagine expanding the data over a longer time period (say 20-30 years) would show those same people have a much better chance of paying you back. just because they made a calculated risk in the worst housing market since the great depression doesnt really tell the whole tale in my opinion.I do however see your point and that would not be good forcing out legit buyers.

A simple remedy is to add your spouse or relative into the LLC which then forces it to qualify as a partnership.

Will I be forced to seek private money investors because I won't have a suitable down payment, or are there HML's out there that will lend against ARV with no down payment?

As is having a way to force appreciation going forward (through improvements, rent growth, vacancy control and expense control). 

If you don't want to convert the house to forced air heating there is a wonderful option for cooling a house this old: ductless air-conditioning.That's all I can think of at the moment.
