New Single Family Rental Dilemma - Tenant on a month to month
Purchased a new single family rental 3B\2B in North Texas. The tenant is currently on a month to month lease and their family has been renting the property for the last 8 years. Here is the dilemma - They are paying WAY below market rents as the old owner never increased rent for the past 8 years. Currently paying $1200\month but market is between $1750\$1800 per month. They have improved the property over the years with paint, flooring, fixtures, etc.. and have been a solid tenant.
Thoughts on whether to give them a discounted increase for 12 months or push for full market rates out the gate. All-in expenses are $1360\month. New to BP - Thanks in advance.
