You should absolutely know what a good offer is, as well as running your own numbers. I've done this long enough that I can pretty much do it in my head as I see a property. 

I think an investor knowledgeable agent, is what you look for. Someone that knows rents, knows their market extremely well and someone that knows how to win offers in this crazy market. 

Hi Gerald, 

I've worked with a few investors from Hawaii and I'd love to chat with you about the Kansas City market if you're interested. 

I personally wouldn't do it, but if you wanted to I'd go month to month at a 25% rent increase. I'm glad they've been good tenants for you but depending on your market this could mean a few extra months vacancy for you with lower rents. They're building a house and you know they're going to leave, this isn't a situation of maybe they will or maybe they won't. Protect yourself, not them.

Hi Robert, 

I've been working with OOS investors for 7+ years in the Kansas City market. I'd love to chat with you about our market, even if you don't use me as a Realtor. NO PRESSURE, just help. I'm not a salesperson, I build relationships and my investors have become my personal friends with lifelong relationships. 

Get a Real Estate agent that knows what they're doing and how to protect you. 

I haven't done a bid, but I have made two qualified applicants bid to see who'd pay the highest rent. 

Welcome and happy investing! Bigger Pockets is a great place to do all of that :)

Interview, interview, interview. I do al-a-carte services but it'll cost you a lot more than using us as your PM. We'll find a tenant for you at 100% vs 65%, if we're your emergency line, it's $50 per call with a mark up on the vendor bill. 

Congrats! I'd love to chat with you about that address and where you're getting rents of $1500 on a duplex. 

Sounds like you have reason to evict, get an attorney.
