You can also door knock on Saturday and potentially Sundays.You don't always have to call on the first day. 

(That last one might qualify for what you are trying to do, but you're going to run into some underwriting barriers if you simultaneously increase the rate and payment without a very strong reason--and accessing cash for real estate investment is probably not going to be what they want to see, depending on the lender).2.

But to date, I've just set my rents at a rate that accounts for me having to pay the water bill - and informed the residents that each year I'll increase the rent based upon my expenses (including water), so keeping the bill down helps me to help them.But one problem this could cause is if increasing the rent to cover the water bill then places your rent above the market rate.
