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. 

Yes, now when I speak, it is automatic bullying.

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. 

If your property in DC becomes owned by an LLC, you will automatically become subject to rent control. 

I would put the student loan on an automatic minimum payment plus some comfortable, but not too large, additional principal payment (if available) per month, then forget about it.

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.

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

@Steve Cribb to be successful, landlords need to set boundaries.Many tenants, especially desperate ones, try to make their problems their landlord's problems.As a PMC, we try to be reasonable, as "life happens" and "tenants are tenants for a reason", meaning they don't plan well and live paycheck to paycheck.Part of our being reasonable though, involves deadlines and we AUTOMATICALLY start the eviction process so a tenant knows this. 

I am located at Central Florida area, and I believe that even with the high prices, higher interest rates and huge supply of real state down here, still out here many great opportunities.The market still hot, we just need to adjust the approach..... at least are my guts feelings.v/r
