Often you are able to charge double or triple rent for at least a few months if they remain past an agreed term.

@Betty Snowie 8 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, triple lot, well outfitted for large groups. 

My cash flow about tripled and I got three more houses basically for free from my original cash out refi.

I would dive into those numbers. 8 is very high for DC proper, even for triple net.

Contrast that with rates that have tripled and a commercial MF market that has fallen and has some indications may be cliff bound.  

Replacing the old windows with New triple pane windows, converting the oil heat system to electric. adding some mini-splits with heat/Ac capability.

I got an offer for SBA financing off of the new equity that can be leveraged to triple our portfolio, but it 1) comes with a personal guarantee and 2) is tied to the prime rate which is high.
