Born and raised here.

Born & raised in the dc area lol. 

Hi Bigger Pockets community , I was born and raised in Brownsville area.

You don’t want to get caught below market when your city/state decides to implement rent control mid-lease and trap you below market forever. 4) I’ve never raised rent less than $25 (already at or above market.) or $50-100 (5%) if even slightly below market.

It's hard not to fall into this trap when digital marketing and social media advertising is constantly shoving all of these unnecessary products and services down our throats. 

My father was born and raised in the Hudson Valley and is very active in the area with his brokerage and operating company, Pioneer Realty.

I am trying to help you avoid the traps that all of us have fallen into.Your bravado is wildly misplaced and your biggest problem is that you are ripe for the picking by any guru or JV partner right now because you think you know a lot more than you do and you only want to hear the nice, warm stuff.

They happened long before I was born, but that is what they are.

Assuming you are keeping them, you'll want to familiarize yourself with the BRRR method--both in terms of concept and actual tips and traps.

Or is it going to trap too much moisture?
