However, just to set expectations, they most likely won’t make any changes unless there’s a clear error in the valuation.That said, since the $1,000 increase works out to about $83 per month, I’d suggest checking what the market rents are in your area.

Any suggestion on MHP funds that have long proven track records? 

Quote from @Nicole Heasley Beitenman: When I was starting, I found a resource in FF that suggested pricing $300-500 above LTR rates.

Hopefully it doesn’t come to that, but he does have two evictions on his record already so it’s not out of the realm of possibility.Thanks @Kathleen Leary for your suggestion for the lease.  

Can I beat inflation.Paying off a mortgage does none of those things.I'd suggest if you are able to pay off a mortgage, you instead use it to buy another "cash flowing" property. 

If the numbers aren't there yet, I'd suggest focus on growing your income, look into house hacking as previously suggested, or consider partnering with other investors who can qualify for the loans.

Have you ever seen rents actually go lower (I'd assume this would only happen if occupancy dropped significantly, but that seems like something that could happen in a recession).Also a BAM specific question/concern - from what I understand they are based in Indiana, and I see in their current open offering one of the properties is in Indiana (great) but I'm wondering why the other property is in Arkansas? 

I’m interested in learning about buying and holding long term rental properties.But I’m in a really messed up situation right now and looking for suggestions what would be the best approach to my situation in order to scale quickly. 

I am open to suggestions.
