Are they familiar with what they should do for colors, amenities, etc?

In Portland for example we are not allowed to increase rent more than once in 12 months, and it must be less than 10% increase in "effective rent".

The rent control in some cases is really unfair to the landlord as the percentage increases are virtually irrelevant when the rent is a small amount.

At annual rent increases, I do scour Zillow for market rents in the area, which I share with my tenants.

Furthermore you can vastly increase your returns through leverage using a non-recourse loan but that will definitely trigger UBIT but again the numbers can still make a lot of sense. 

In 2024, I noticed an increase in BP leads that have been high net worth investors reaching out wanting to 1031 into bigger properties.

Over time, rents may increase, improving your cash flow, and you’ll gain equity and valuable experience managing tenants and property operations.

You would have to be significantly cheaper than my current cleaners for me to give you a shot, because I generally have only changed cleaners for either consistent subpar work or increasing/unreasonable prices.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are an increasingly popular way to generate additional rental income on an existing property.

However, by placing money in a property that I would like to have in order to increase my quality of life, that can also produce some cash flow instead of being a liability that requires money every month, I can increase my quality of life without increasing my monthly liabilities.
