I generally advise against townhomes and condos as the HOAs can become harsh and limit your options.

Considering you have just bought this property and inherited the tenant, I would also consider finding some ways to be in good standing with them before proposing the rent increase, they might not take it so harshly.

It's a harsh reality. 

This is usually too harsh for a single incident, particularly with a new tenant.2.

DO NOT pour drain-o or other chemical drain de-clogging agent into any drain.

Even if I raise it from $600 to just under $1200 in the span of a month the tenants have no where to go because I will still have the cheapest rent in a 5 mile radius.Though, I don't want to be too harsh as I have been in their shoes before, I will work with them on the rent raises.  

Good morning, my wife and I have been running  transitional homes for men and women 18+ who struggle with chemical/mental health issues going on roughly 5 years.

Every day, the Chemical Plants (Dow, Shintech, etc.) and residential neighborhoods that surround the site of this location provide a high traffic count.A great opportunity exists for a tenant that is willing to market their business to travelers of Hwy. 1, the residents in the surrounding neighborhoods, and neighboring communities.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
