It would be hard to raise the rent a ton on existing tenants especially if they are close to market rates. 

Also, I am in the process of creating a business logo so I can make some all important business cards and swag (who doesn't want that!)

I am a local Cleveland agent (born & raised) & work with one of the top PM's here.

Pass out business cards to strangers and call friends.  

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Jay HinrichsHey now :) (haha we have 700 investors)It can be done but you need a dedicated person to do it and make sure you budget for it - spending all your time raising $ for other deals and on the podcast circuit takes away focus.

I get the new bill and Safeco raised it to 6k ..

If not , I dont want to raise the rent, due to I dont want the tenant to have to pay.any suggestions 

I also suggest Michael Gerber's "The E-Myth Revisited" as well as his "E-Myth Real Estate Investor" collaboration with Than Merrill and Paul Esajian.Remember - 90% of this business is marketing so don't let all the other stuff, like obsessing over business cards, get in the way of that.Good luck!

I believe many in your shoes also struggle to differentiate between mortgage debt and unsecured debt such as  credit cards.

I have a sick parent abroad and i am not there half the time, they kept raising the maintenance since i got there and i don't want to pay that when i am not there so my solution was to rent it out ... so while i agree its better for the building to have a lower percentage of rentals it hits people like me...
