I plan on testing for the RE license by December.

Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one of them should stand out for you.

So interestingly, applying heavier discounts farther in advance actually raised our average nightly rate for those quieter months.

Should I send a notice out to my current tenants that their rent would be raised to $1400/m effective Nov/Dec 1st and if they can’t do it that they would need to leave by then? 

Here is the link I found on SF.gov - https://www.sf.gov/reports/march-2024/security-deposits#inte...They raised it from 2.3% the previous year! 

besides looking for leaks, we look for raised shingles, loose shingles, some shingles on the ground, etc. 

If you can finance an entire deal that way, it does give you the potential to buy out the preferred equity and own the entire deal yourself within maybe 3 years.I think preferred equity is easier to raise in today's climate. 

We started with $1MM of our own capital, and have since grown to about $25MM through raising private money and utilizing bank lines of credit.

Financing either is a bad idea and will raise a red flag with a lender who will look at sources and uses of the loan request.

I'm having trouble raising capital, is there anyone out there that can give me tip on how to raise capital?
