Thank Aaron for the advise, if it comes to a new tenant that would be unfortunate but being so close to the college's it wouldn't be a long turnover.

Hello everyone,

I'm looking into purchasing my second REI but first SFR. List price is for ~$60k its a 2 bed 1.5 bath near the local university and community college. The tenant has been there for several years and the current landlord has never raised the rent of 475/mnth + utilities. The market rent in the area for similar houses is no less than $700+utilities/mnth.

My question is how is should go about raising the rent to approach (maybe be just under) the market. 

The tenant is on MTM lease currently and the selling agent told my agent that the tenant was informed that it is very likely their rent will go up once the property sells.

Thank you in advance for the advise and help.

I closed on my first RE investment just before Thanksgiving. It's a duplex with long time renters, one has been there for over 10 years. It's an older home but has great cash flow and little maintenance.

i just done building my first house (personal) and used WI Title. Not sure how they are with investors but they have been pretty helpful with my project. Disclaimer: I'm completely new to real estate investing (planning on buying my first rental next year) so I'm not positive what to look for in title companies.
