Would you raise them slowly over the course of 3-4 years until we get to the pro forma or make bigger rent raises now with the risk of losing many tenants?

I've said it before on here - lucky I don't have to rent this place at all or I would be losing my ***.

What do you stand to lose by reaching out to those guys and asking to talk with them?

After months of this, I did start to lose patience and became more direct with my team as anyone would after so much time and money has been invested.

Ask your PMC for the Eviction Judgment or Writ of Eviction.2) Even if you get a money judgment, you may "win the battle, but lose the war".

If we put the home on the market we would lose at least a month rent and utility cost.Some background on the property is that we put 120k towards a down payment at 6.125%.

Lets say its 1k a month on a quad, your partner would be losing out on 25% of income, while you would actually be getting the full 100% plus some on the break from living expense. 

If you have a BAD tenant experience on this property as a rental and lose several months of rent and incur substantial tenant damage that is all coming out of pocket whereas if you had even a handful of rentals the performing rentals and the monies budgeted for capex/maintenance/vacancy will carry that sort of loss.

My opinion is while not directly correlated, when banks start losing money and increase in defaults lending tightens and large losses typically will lead to more job losses.

In your case, you are holding the property for nearly two months and you probably have a deposit of one month's rent, which means you will lose at least a month of rent, two months of utilities, the cost of lawn care, etc.2.
