Well here is my experience:
A common saying among explorers is “there’s always a way in.” This meaning that no matter what there should be a way in, even if it looks impossible. In my experience you have to look for the most obvious or the most unlikely way in.
It will either be so obvious everyone skips it as a possible way in or it is so unlikely no one wants to try it.
Usually if a building is completely locked down, boards covering the whole ground level and locks on every door, whatever is inside is worth the risk! This means that whoever owns the building is trying to protect something inside. Sometimes if I am unable to find an entrance no matter what, I wait.
I am not into vandalism but by all means others can do whatever they want. If you wait a couple days’ vandals usually break something, take off a door, break a window, tear off boards, etc. Then it is a clear way in and you didn’t do anything but take advantage of the situation.
The trick is to be quick, quiet and always make sure to scout the area in advance so you know what your up against.
Make sure you know everything you can before you try to get into a building.
On the other hand, if a building is half boarded up and pretty destroyed by the elements/people and is closely watched by the crazy farmer down the road. This is not worth it. The reward in the end will not be worth the risk you are taking.
Do some research on the location before trying to gain access. Even if you drive around the area to check things out this gives you some idea of the activity. Weigh both the risks of getting in/out and the possible reward in the end. If you are in a group make sure you vote before taking any action.

Are their cops circling the area? If so, how often do they come around?
What is the closest house nearby? Is anyone there at the moment?
Has there been any recent activity around the building?
Construction workers?
Traffic? Vehicles? Other people? Etc.
