Rents will go up.

My plan is to buy a new house and rent my current residence out and then "sell up" into a larger property to get my start. 

Best,Melissa Justice, Investment Strategist at Rent to Retirement

Gross rent multiplier (GRM) A method that divides the purchase price by the gross annual rents when the property is 100% occupied.

I rent to one couple or small family for the full rental period - no less than 2 months and no more than 3 months.

Currently rented for $1800/mo.

But once I got the bills, I increased the rent with the tenant's approval and signed an addendum to the lease stating the rent increase would be X and the owner would take over utilities.

This works best when the seller is motivated and open to flexible terms.4.BRRRR Strategy (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat)– If you find the right undervalued property, you can finance the rehab with short-term funding and then refinance into a long-term loan, pulling most or all of your money back out.5.House Hacking– If you’re open to living in your investment, you can use an FHA loan (as low as 3.5% down)to buy a multi-unit, live in one unit, and rent out the others.

There would be rent of $ 8 K a month on a triple net lease.
