There is a limit you can do to raising the price to cover closing costs and buyer broker commish..

Second, the other owners are interested in selling to raise cash.

In which case any suggestions on raising EMD.

That said, I would probably discuss the situation with them and let them know what market rents are at and that you don't want to raise it all at once.

And if you screw up with the disclosures and contingcy timelines, there are penalties.If you could, I would raise the price by 3%, and hire an agent...pay real close attention and then next time, try it yourself.BTW - Russell does have a good point.

I just raised rents again and have a waiting list for tenants.

Using this strategy can help you save money on improvements and eventually raise the value of the house.Make connections with nearby real estate agents, go to gatherings, and make use of BiggerPockets and other educational materials.

Ideally, you could find something liquid (money market) or fixed for a duration until you need it (CD, etc) with a rate approximating inflation but rates (even with talk of some incremental raises coming) still won't yield much.I think you have a good point about return.

Get some 25 year old 6'4" and 250 lbs of solid muscle to do it and give them $50 if the tenant leaves!

We wanted to do LVP throughout the house and the kitchen and bathrooms had an extra layer of plywood to raise its height so we had to manually crowbar it out, which took days and a lot of work.Aside from the flip, we didn't expect the sellers too keep changing their minds on closing date.
