I do have a completed (and checked) Application for #4.Now with the familial discrimination possibility, I may wait for the anniversary of the original 3 where I was planning to raise the rent anyway.Of course checking with our "Bible" (Legal Tactics: Tenants' Rights in Massachusetts 6th edition) we're still within the 410.400: Minimum Square Footage - 150.SF for 1st occupant and 100.SF for each additional occupant.

I’d say not so much and that's why I have turned down millions in profit over the years from investors looking to finance.Does everyone forget that we just hit the 10 year anniversary of the financial crisis that led to people buying so many homes with so much leverage forgetting that if their income changes one blip it all goes to S@#%?

I like to celebrate that significant milestone in my tenants lives because it’s not many of them that actually achieve that.

From a business perspective, having shorter mortgage terms (we've gone as short as 2-yrs, but you can go as short as 6-months) gives you the opportunity to shop around your mortgages at their anniversary and secure the best available interest rate for the next term.

So first thing is that I like to start 45-60 days before lease renewal I congratulate them on coming up on an anniversary.
