I'm okay just keeping the equity increase for now, but any tips on how to raise rent given the renovations I did already? 

(Then you have zero vacancy, your business controls its rent increases, etc.)Rent out the garage to another small company. 

My current company is AllState, and they increased their rates by 100%, so I'm looking elsewhere.

If you won’t hire a PM I’d send something like: You’ve been a great tenant but because of market conditions the rent will be increasing to $x at the end of your current lease.

I am an investor and realtor as well but I focus mostly on fixing up distressed properties to increase value and grow the equity and that usually allows better cashflow also. 

I am happy to consider listing with a realtor, but the price would have to increase to accommodate commissions.

The shorter the prepayment term has an impact on increasing the rate.4.

Well owners who already had section 8 tenants in place didn't want to spend $5, $10, $15k or more upgraded a unit that has a tenant in place just to maintain the rents they had (or have a slight increase) so a lot of section 8 approved properties stopped taking section 8.Right after COVID though, it seems that section 8 has lowered their standards a bit.

Start small with a multifamily property in areas showing job growth, population increases, or redevelopment potential.

There are very few places where you can still get anywhere near the 1% rule, and in Omaha you really don't have to look that hard to find those opportunities in droves.Not to get too into the weeds, but I have a thesis that the Midwest as a whole will begin to outperform the coastal and southernmost cities as time goes on-- primarily driven by increasing COL & decreasing QOL in said coastal urban cities.
