I send a short email also:Dear ___,This letter serves as notice of our intent to increase the monthly rent at _______. from $__ to $__ beginning _____.

If This were happening in California it would be a whole different ball game..... they would turn om the utilities and give them food stamps LOL 

In addition, they will need space in the common areas for their stuff as well (think refrigerator & pantry for food, etc.)No background check will show how clean they are, how they respect your space, whether they are a loud person, or a night owl, who they invite over to stay with them and such.  

I currently own a food truck/restaurant and real estate is my next career move.

I work with many investors from California.My office is Ann Arbor, Michigan but we serve the whole State.Lot to say about Ann Arbor being voted #1 place to live and retire in the country throughout the years, most educated city in the country and the Great Lakes making the area fairly climate friendly.There are some markets that are better for cashflow and some that offer more appreciation.To your success!

On Tuesday I attended a CCIM luncheon where a couple of my friends/fellow commercial lenders served on the panel.

There's a notable article in the Telegram and Gazette about the spike in demand at food pantries, "Food assistance: Demand at food pantries spikes as rents increase and wages do not".It's safe to say that the majority of visitors to food pantries are renters.

Deal was sourced through New Western and sold at a first come first serve basis.

Here's some food for thought:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.
