I guess it's just too many factors to consider and it easy to get overwhelmed and cannot get accurate info and estimation when I conduct analysis (ex. property tax rate, insurance, maintenance fee, rent, repair, closing cost, etc.) 

For example, for my out of state clients, I make sure to consult with them on their deal analysis and #s, I educate them on the good/bad neighborhoods, I help them develop a scope of work and estimate renovations, I set them up with my PM/GC/lenders/etc.

You are best off to raise the rent and give the tenant the option to stay.Also, I hear a lot on here that "rents should be", "the potential rents are"... make sure that you do your due diligence when calculating potential rents because most new owner OVER estimate them.

As an experiment I invested $30k each in the 10 REITs which had (according to average estimate of NAV) the largest discounts from net asset value as per market price).
