While it doesn't increase your search parameters, mdlandrec.net is a good free resource for when you want to find detailed information about a property such as mortgages, copies of deeds, etc.

Any insights on increasing rents or updating the units would be greatly appreciated!

Are they paying below market rent because the landlord hasn't increased rent over the years (eg long term tenants with no increase) or were they rented that way (ie low rent either to fill or because landlord didn't know what market rent was)?

The 1K a month (12K annual) will be reinvested into the property to minimize taxable gains in total portfolio and increase the value of the property.

By moving to the SECT 8 model, we were able to increase the rents with $5-600 premiums per unit.

I did not raise the rent last year however we did think about putting the house on the market because there are not many houses on the market for sale and house prices in this area are significantly increased.

There have been stories of tenants intentionally causing damage, such as purposefully leaving a faucet running to increase the water bill and damage the property.

There are 3% rent increases built into the leases and I can bill the tenants for increased CAM expenses, taxes and insurance.Am I missing something here?

I took care of it.I also recently sent out rent increase notices, and now I got a request from a different tenant to replace a refrigerator because it's "rusted on the front and side."

Thank youCREATING a note from the sale of rental property can be beneficial IF either of these two possibilities exist(1) you are able to obtain a significantly higher price on sale of the property by offering a seller financed note WITHOUT an undo increase in default risk(2) you are able to “wrap” an existing mortgage note bearing a low rate of interest with a seller financed note bearing a higher rate of interest.
