I try to pay off all loans as fast as possible because I feel like money wasted on interest is overlooked sometimes as people only focus on the amount of money coming in rather than the amount saved.As of today, I'm just focusing on establishing the best systems to analyze the markets, find properties, get financing, make wise renovations, and manage my rental properties.

I would say it's not worth rocking the boat for less than $200 additional per month, when you look at what you're overall ROI. if it's really that big of a deal to you, maybe consider canceling the pest services that you know are being utilized and would facilitate not having a roach problem, so that you can save that extra money every month and have that money back instead of raising the rent price to the tenant.I have seen this in many different places, Metropolitan, rural and otherwise, and it doesn't necessarily matter with the market rent is you're not always going to get that.

Often they like to ultimately buy their properties and will pay over market value so they don’t have to uproot the established program to stay in the home they’ve been renting.
