If that's true, then you may want to hold off on an increase to ensure you don't price yourself out of the market. 

He has a ton of units in and around Worcester and in similar areas and is licensed and able to help find off-market and on-market options where you want to look.

If you were 30 days late they started eviction right away, if you paid up it would reset the clock until you were again 30 days behind.I got a note in the mail to say that this was my last chance and if I was late again when I renewed I would be MTM and that meant that I would have resign the lease or initial it every month,rent was $100 more for MTM leases, and if I was late while I was MTM it would not be renewed.Luckily I got that letter at the same time I got permanent employment with a huge IT Services company.Having permanent employment instead of working for a few months getting laid off and working again for a couple months fixed the money issue.You might want to do the same sort of thing.Raise the rent, make sure they know the rent is being raised because they cannot pay on time, and if they are late again, they will be kicked out even if they pay up.

I am currently under contract for a very unique off market property that is waterfront (Manatee river, Bradenton, FL) and very close to the seawall(1958) & rip rap(2016).

Well built tiny-cabin (650sq. ft) with oversized and overbuilt garage (1000sq. ft) on 1/4 acre lot in the highest elevation year-round community in Tuolumne County - Leland Meadows, off Hwy 108 @ 6300' elevation.

Which ticked me off.

@Alex Rodriguez, first off, did you learn anything yet so that you aren't in this situation again next time?!?

Otherwise, you're better off investing in the S&P 500 like VOO and 401k matching.

If you're considering new construction buy-and-hold properties in strong markets and prefer a more hands-off approach, it's worth exploring.

Based on comps and speaking with realtors we figure I can sell my home and after paying off my mortgage and selling expenses I could net approx 750-900k, depending upon the sale price of course.
