To properly renew a lease with a tenant, several tasks SHOULD be done:1) Evaluate the property to make sure tenant is taking care of it and you want them to stay.2) Do a market analysis of rental rates.3) Determine target rental increase amount4) We present all this to the tenant, as we assume they're looking at rental rates on Zillow, etc.5) We then ask the tenant what adjustment they think is fair and then negotiate rent amount and lease term (we always try to go for 2 years).6) New lease sent electronically to sign.All of this takes time, hence a Renewal Fee.

Someone who is good at sales and marketing can make a few deals quick, but then the buyers they sold to hate them because their numbers were off or they lied and the sellers catch wind of it.I am not as anti-wholesale as many, but I am anti-lying and deceiving which is what a lot of them do.
