tenant intiially voiced they wanted to stay at least 4 years due to the school district before signing. we are almost through year one with them, and will need to restructure our lease in a few months. they have been fine tenants.i was thinking about incentivizing it, but want some expert opinions. they currently pay 2795 a month, but a total of 2863 with the property mangement fees( pet and "convenience" fees) but we are getting rid of our property mangement company and doing it ourselves. trying to think of the best way to pitch thisso what i was thinking was:2863 for 3 years ( it would stay flat for 3 years)2925 for 2 years (flat for 2)2975 for 1 yearthoughts?

I'm so glad I found a post that voices my shock and frustration as well.

The rest of the time was spent talking to voice mail boxes with a 100% guarantee from them that no one would call back. 

They try to see a way how not to cover and make you run around with many hours of time spent.5) Completely disconnected departments which would make you run around between them and tell differnet things and there is no email communication or co-ordinated one voice. 6) You are sure expected to get ended up with frustration dealing with them

@Jason O.I've rented to over 700 students (under and grad) and I understand the market well.To do it successfully: time it with the academic calendarSept to May: flat price including utilities and furniture for max revenue, can include a cleaning service to keep an eye on the rental.May to Aug: depends on your city density and the amount of summer classes, increase the price to accommodate the demand or decrease it accordingly.

I decided on a phased approach (focusing on research, moving onto analysis, action, etc.) to ensure I don't get caught in an academic deadlock. 

For every 10 people called I get 2 people on the phone and a lot of the ones that don’t answer are correct numbers because their voice mail gives it away.

Hi April, Google voice is an easy way to have a 2nd number.

Alongside my academic pursuits, I also helm a reputable research firm, where we analyze market trends, identify opportunities, and deliver actionable insights to our clients.In line with my passion for real estate and my background in finance, I am actively seeking opportunities to collaborate with like-minded investors on commercial real estate ventures.

@Chris Laino What I do is walk around the property and make a voice memo on my phone.
