My normal DSCR lending partners said no.

Given these things, in a normal circumstance, I try to increase rents 1-3% annually believing that is generally how much rents will increase LONG TERM and that a tenant's pay will likely rise in that range each year on average as well.

I was thinking about normal residential investing.

I am curious is anyone experiencing higher than normal nonpaying tenants and evictions?

I've been able to get 0% APY balance transfer for 12mo before from Chase and Amex by doing this on a card I already had and I got a 1% balance transfer fee vs the normal 3-5%.

You don't give any indication of what you can afford, so it's hard to give you much more advice than that.When asking for directions, it helps to know where you are at and what mode of transportation you are using (foot, bicycle, Ford F-350, Porsche 911, etc.), and where you want to end up.

I was just thinking, as a realtor, I will sometimes just drive through neighborhoods that I like and sometimes, I will see a Pods container or a moving truck, or people working - If I see that, I will normally go knock on the door and introduce myself to see if they are making a move or not.

@Scott Trench and his team have done a good job with the sub to guys they got removed but came back a few months ago and of course the post on all sub to threads and at first just normal responses like they did not really understand the bizz..

New potential tenant put 09/01/2024 to 08/24/2025 for the asked lease dates. is it normal to have it shortened by a week for the last month?
