Quote from @Ryan Fox:

@Victor Hernandez- It's always a tough decision.  Don't agonize over it.  If it's their first renewal, keep rents where they are and raise the rent next year.  There's not enough rent differential to risk having a vacancy.  


Thank you I do agree with that also. Id rather know I have someone there. Now to follow that up do I charge another Pet Deposit for the new year?

Hello BP!

So I'm currently in a duplex doing a house hack. My tenants have been amazing no issues and they always pay on time or early. However they are coming up on the end of the lease in about 2 months. Rents in my area have gone up but not by much. So my question is do I offer them a renewal without raising rents? ( my thought on this is to keep them because I know what kind of tenants they are while keeping them happy) or Raise rents but puts be at risk of losing these great tenants?

To give more content the side I'm currently in I've been renovating ( brand new everything) and once I finish in about 2-3 Months will be for rent for about $400 more than what they are paying now. 

Thank you for any advice or help in advance 

Thanks BiggerPockets!

Hello Biggerpockets!

I recently passed my real estate exam in North Carolina! I also signed up for my 301, 302, 303 classes already to become a Full Broker. With that being said I'm hoping to find a firm with a great BIC/ Mentor to guide me in the right direction. There are so many options out there when it comes to joining a firm and online you can't get a real feel of what to expect. So anyone in the the Raleigh area or even further out feel free to message me and we can connect to chat about it! Thanks have a great day !
