for profitability, always drive rents. It is always easier to raise rent $1.00 than to save $0.50. I assume that you will always be frugal on expenses. Keep in mind that as a landlord, this is an investment but to your tenant, it is home. Tenants will not object to a slightly higher rent if the value you offer is worth it. We focus on selling lifestyle not space on our properties. We believe that part of the rent tenants pay is for service so don't forget that how you respond to tenant request is vital to good quality tenants an lower costs.
