It doesn’t make sense to me to just raise rents 2% per year if market rents are rising significantly faster.

You still need access to the property to do it, but it's a bit faster than doing a normal appraisal. 

It will speed up the process of finding no-competition deals faster.  

Finding information this way is often faster when necessary information couldn't be obtained directly through the internet.That's the old fashion way of doing things before the internet.  

If it is block construction the engineers will make you beef up the slab and add piles to support the new weight of the second floor.

I've moved move of my clients who used QBO to Baselane (or Stessa), and it's vastly simpler, faster, and easier for them and for me. 

Using a loan lets you spread your money across more deals, scale faster, and potentially see bigger returns.

Hopefully you can figure it out up front and get there a little faster than we did!...

It would totally help me ramp up my portfolio and grow much faster if I could put 3.5-5% down as opposed to 20%.

After weighting all of that, does it make the most sense to try to keep this tenant in place?
