In fact I have a no PITA policy, which means if you violate it you are probably getting a rent increase at next renewal opportunity, which might be next month if you are on M2M.

In the past year or two we see lots of rentals and investors and rent prices have not kept up with home price increases. 

For my short term rentals I am really going to focus on adding improvements that will increase my daily rate and guest experience.

Quote from @Brandon Croucier: 20% down is terrific on land.It’s a non income producing asset which has increased volatility, typically I see 65 LTV max on land as of late.Thank you Brandon!

Looking for reasons to increase those expenses sounds counterproductive. 5.

Having been in Austin for nearly five years, I've seen a significant increase in incentives for developers to build multifamily properties.

And the Idea of true wealth in rentals I paid for over time.. your tenants are paying your mortgage and increasing your net worth monthly. 

@Chris Kay beleive you can do DSR loans without a job as they qualify the property, not the borrower.You'd still need 20-25% down though.That's where you have a decision:- Pay down the mortgage, setting yourself up for a future refinance to free up your VA Entitlement.OR- Save up for your next acquisition.Only YOU can make that decision as you have to be comfortable with the increasing debt-load risk and the additional time to manage everything.

Quote from @Leeling Chew: Hi all,My tenant's lease expires on December 31, 2024, and converts to a month-to-month tenancy with a $150 rent increase.

That must be frustrating.How about price, is it still the 2020 price, or were there a lot of change orders and price increases as well?
