It is more difficult to execute in this market, but it's doable.

I ask them how that compares to how they actually executed for that month.  

@Jarred Nisenfeld If you want cheap real estate why travel all the way to Reading when you have North Philadelphia in your backyard? 

She stays on the property maybe 2 or 3 times a year when not traveling out of the country.

If this tenant can't afford the $100 increase, I will have to travel back and spend the time and money getting the house ready for a new tenant (paint, carpets, etc) , not to mention decide whether I will hire a company to deal with the rental and the new tenant, which could mean 10% of monthly rent or I will have to deal with it long distance myself and hope for the best. 

Travel is mine, I wanna see the world, meet people, and experience life outside my comfort zone. 

Since you are living there, it should be much easier to set up showings rather than a traditional rental traveling to the property.The biggest mistake I have made, and seen other makes, is loosening their guidelines after a few weeks/months of vacancy because they have simply had enough. 

Aside from well drafted contracts protecting all parties to a business transaction, the process of preparing and executing contracts in itself slows down processes and allows for more thoughtful decision making, diligence & vetting.

I travel a lot so considering a multifamily by somewhere I already travel and being able to stay in it.

Through meticulous planning and execution, we have created a dynamic space that now stands as a beacon of innovation in the automotive industry.
