I know what the rents should be for each of the units (2 vacant and 1 significantly under market), the taxes are listed on the MLS, I’m familiar with the water/sewer costs in close proximity to this building, and I know what percentage to use for my Vacancy, CapEx, and repairs and maintenance based on my knowledge of the local market.

Started out asking $300 rent and $600 deposit ($900.00) for a one bedroom with water, sewer and trash provided.

It's cold outside and mice are looking for warm places to live.
