Raising the Rent after Purchase....
Has anyone got any good ideas on the best way to raise rent rent after you buy ?
I am buying a building and one unit is horribly under market.
The unit in question is on Month to Month.

Give them the 60 days required and jack it up to $1450. At $900 you are losing $550 a month or $6600 a year, at $1100 you are losing $350 a month or $4200 a year. Unless you wear a red suit, have a white beard and collect your rents in a sleigh, that doesn't sound like smart business to me.
