Is there a way to reverse this, and make the purchase price known for the sake of fighting taxes, or the opposite, increasing comps in the area, etc?

In other words accounting for the increased cost of advertising during a vacancy or do you just have to manually inflate the property management fees?

Also, most owners tend to give the homes away to long-term tenants as a means to increase tenant retention and loyalty. 

Hi, I am a new investor and I am interested in a property in a low income neighborhood that has 8 standard windows with a few of them broken out.

@Tim Yusubov I would think standard insurance for rental properties is what you want.

Myself I have a building  background and possess journey level skill in almost all trades except maybe doing concrete work and I am also an architectural designer so I perfer properties that can be increased in value through forced appreciation and look for properties where the zoning, set back, and other requirements allow for adding square footage to a building but others perfer invest in turnkey properties already fully occupied whereas I like working with empty buildings. 

In my experience the inspectors were fairly "petty" when it came time for the Section 8 annual inspection / rental increases. 

For example, a standard residential policy will provide $100-300k liability coverage while a commercial policy commonly provides $500k-1mil liability. 

“We feel good about the business.”According to the China Financial Weekly, GEA’s net income in China has increased 80 percent since Haier acquired the company, and its revenue increased 11 percent during the first half of this year.According to: https://thinkkentucky.com/kyedc/pdfs/100jobs.pdf adding just 270 manufacturing jobs to should add nearly $30 million value added.This knowledge should make a compelling case for investing in Louisville, as if we need more reasons! 

I assume that I can take possession (change locks etc) and perform structural repairs sufficient to bring it back to habitable standards but my question is does that include sprucing up the property itself ie tree trimming grass cutting and the like to maintain neighborhood norms?
