You won't succeed in real estate if you don't get outside your comfort zone and just make it happen.Good luck.

Get out of your comfort zone.

There’s definitely a strategy for designing your property to fill your calendar and attract dream guests.

We also have absolutely insane tenancy laws designed to protect tenants and make landlords' lives difficult.

These will help you understand how aggressively you can push for rent increases.For tenants you want to keep, I'd push the rents to an amount that both parties are comfortable with, so they stay in-place and you don't have to spend on turnover and renovations.

BiggerPockets is full of resources designed to help you along your journey, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned investor.
