Although the project was successful, there were minor delays that required quick adjustments.

When providing a lease renewal we provide 4 options - sign a 1 year lease for a lower increase, sign a month to month at a higher increase, submit a move out notice if you wish not to renew, or choose to do nothing and receive the highest rent increase (with a clause that once they select from the other 3 options the rent amount will be adjusted accordingly not not made retroactive)

It's worth noting that while the VA allows for a loan assumption, you'll need to qualify based on your single income (adjusted for any child support or new debts since the original purchase).

If out of choice, the 10 year yield should drop another 75 to 100 basis points, bringing the mortgage rates down, and if we go into recession then they will cut out of necessity bringing the 10 yr yield down 150 to 250 basis points at least, and also leading to rising unemployment and declines in property values, although HCAD will take their sweet time to adjust as always. 

I am constantly learning new things and I will continue to adjust my strategies and processes based on experiences I have as time goes on.  

We use pricelabs to adjust the rent, which seems to be up about 10% overall. 

You have both proven that you're likely to have some success - even if it is try, fail, and adjust. 5 years from now it likely won't matter which option you chose.I'd hate to walk away from the business and get nothing. 

This stability can significantly enhance the quality of life for tenants, offering a sense of peace and financial predictability.However, as a landlord, this 5% cap limits my ability to adjust rents based on market conditions and rising costs, thereby reducing profitability.

In addition, the section 121 exclusion does not apply to the gain allocable to the residential portion of the property to the extent of the depreciation adjustments attributable to the residential portion of the property for periods after May 6, 1997 ($3,000).

I learned as I went and made adjustments to overcome hurdles.
