We will have to increase density tremendously to have any sort of chance....but that is a very unpopular option. 

Hey Austin,This type of information is tremendously helpful. 

Of course, I speak from experience: as one example, I submitted a maintenance request that I eventually escalated to an emergency, but days passed without any action by Latchel.

(They were leases with escalation clauses without a buyout option.)

This has helped me tremendously!

However, with Software to make it easier to manage properties efficiently has helped tremendously.

Many states allow landlords to enter the property with appropriate notice (often 24-48 hours) for repairs, even if minors are present, as long as it’s done respectfully and with prior notice.Discuss Lease Terms and Future Considerations: If this continues to be a recurring issue, consider including a clause in future leases addressing tenant responsibilities for cooperation with maintenance and repairs to avoid escalating issues.

Interest rates and points are not the only criteria upon which to base a decision; length of loan, amortization and if you can get it “loan assumability” especially with no qualifying and no rate escalation could e much more important. 

Costs have escalated sharply, water up 25%, electric up 30% and natural gas up 33%, and at one property insurance went up 400%.

If it works, the cashflow is tremendous.
