Her husband is on lease still, if I give him x days couldn't he just go take all valuables in that time frame it just sucks because I can't separate them from the apartment because apartment is full of stuff, basement is filled and garage is filled, like I said he is having a dumpster dropped off Tuesday,, so I'll have to allow access 

Six months later my insurance dropped me and here is where it gets sticky.

Or is that something you have to find on your own by dropping off business cards?

Landlords have limited ability to raise rents, and the market standard is that rents drop. 

Feel free to drop a piece of advice or let me know if you'd be interested in connecting!

I know this industry may be hit or miss, but if anyone can drop any kind of advice that would be great!

Is this expected since interest rates are high and listing prices are subsequently dropping? 

I had to drop a rental by about 10% and an apartment building I'm invested in that we were helping to lease up we had to drop 25%.

@Kerry Hermann - the posts by @Michael Ewers and @Samuel Coronado were solid advice (I don't know Nita Cook whom Sam referenced, so that's the only part of his post I can not comment on).I second what Michael said about the market here - it was fantastic from 2017 (when I started) through 2022 - then it really started to crater in 2023 (although we still found some deals), and the bottom completely dropped out in 2024 (found one small commercial deal and one residential flip deal in 2024 - that's it). 

He believes that area where he will be buying the new homes is going to appreciate and attract more MTRenters, but now, the big difference is that he would now have 3 properties that can go up (or potentially down) in value, go up (or down) in rent, and three times as many vacancies to fill.My back of the napkin assessment is that for only a drop in $200 a month in cash flow, he would control a lot more assets with growth potential and as rents rise over the coming years, the combined rents will increase to a total more than the single rent.HOWEVER.
