If you like the tenants I would be careful not to raise to much that you luch them out but at the same time maximise your rental income.

Condos and SFHs are both a poor selections to invest if your goal is maximising positive cash flow.

Those that base their investment on maximising income and will automatically increase rents annually, knowing that expenses rise constantly, and are pro active in management.

Single member LC's are disregarded entities in the USA so you pay personal income tax in the USA, (if any) and the income and tax paid is credited to the trust in NZ to maximise your flexibility. 

The reason for this is profit.First tier buyers are required to use their in-house financing, no cash buyers on the first tier because this maximises their profits and the chance to get the house when and if the buyer defaults.

Some people like to maximise their leverage to maximise returns but if anything goes wrong they have negatrive cash flow.

Thank you, I'm still trying to maximise my residential options.Vadim

If you wish to invest and maximise your returns you pull dead equity and invest your cash flow (surplus cash) outside of real estate if you are not rolling it into additional income properties.

Their primary goal is not maximising profits but rather avoiding having to actually do any work.

Every tenant eventually moves so the costs will be exactly the same for each in time while not maximising rents will be a added ongoing loss from day one.
