I think you're missing another point-- if rates increase.

To increase views, go into your listing periodically and lower the daily rate for the week or two after you have an expected vacancy, but increase the nightly rate after those two weeks so that you are still getting your target monthly rent.

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.

They will ALL try to up your rates, but you can usually mitigate the amount of the increase with a new 4-point and a call to your agent.If my carrier changes because my agent found a better deal, they typically want to come inspect.

@Dexter Florendo Kalai AspacioBuy in the right location where people want to live and rents will continually increase.
