Find a way to improve the physical property AND the operations to increase the revenue and decrease the expenses. 

I will have to register as a contractor though but I intend to do that anyway to be able to pull permits, I intend to do some of the work myself and/or by hiring temporary workers, I have a guy who can remodel a bathroom in about 2 weeks at at a rate of $15/hour for a labor total of $1200, try to get this rate from a contractor.  

Hello everyone my name is Edwin manning i currently live in the Modesto Ca area and i'm about 5 days new to the Bigger pockets site and would love any help navigating. As we all know real estate has sky rocketed acros...

Otherwise , as long as the rent is fair market value, most landlords increase by 5 percent a year - not decrease . 

I was wondering if there were some tips to decrease OE to increase noi.

I am currently working seasonal, temporary jobs, which makes it impossible for me to receive a loan.

The good thing about these criteria is that they are mostly static as opposed to often changing.Population: Look for population to be steadily growing = increasing customers.Jobs: A stable job market = a stable tenant base.Supply: Too much product = increase in concessions / decrease in rental income to attract solid, long term tenants.Demand: Product type.

And with every day that passes, the risk of that occurring within the applicable limitations period decreases.

Work with my insurance now to make sure they cover temporary housing costs due to displacement from emergencies or condemnation of the bldg.Thanks for taking the time to read.

@William Huston, One of the best strategy relating to proper use of Mortgage is to offset your mature properties income with newer properties interest deduction. 1) Mature properties will start to show more taxable income as interest payment decreases with time. 2) So, use newer properties to offset those income.
