Hi all:I was hoping to raise the rent on my income property but I have never done so previously.  

Just for the sake of professionalism, I’m hoping it is the latter.

My hope is my weekly blog will give others confidence to keep going and an easier journey to success.

A lot of opportunities to buy aged C-class homes at 8, 9, 10 caps.Small investor expense ratios are 40%.Large operator expense ratios are 37/38 %.Large platforms/institution expense ratios are 33/34%Big benefit of blanket insurance policies is to drive costs down.A lot of BFR is looking for a bridge product for 2 years to hope rates get back down in the 5% range.Cannot use HPA on BFR communities you plan on selling based on cash flow.5-18% rental premium being achieved based on new construction communities compared to new construction scatter sites.For real time comps go to biggest operators BFR, small multifamily.More confidence about the cost of construction having stabilized.Some products which will not be good for retail buyers will also not be good for rentals.

If you throw everything into one "capital improvements" bucket, you lose these benefits.3.

<--This right here could be a point of negotiation to further drive down the price of the property.I hope this helps and good luck!

I hope to share helpful insights as it relates to marketing as well as network with investors/owners in Ohio and the greater Midwest. 

Then hoping you will apply it As it comes due.

Find a property and hopefully purchase for a good price in cash (or a similar result, hard-monty option), perform the required repairs for your mother and potentially get the second rental unit ready.

Not sure if that will work for your business, but hopefully this helps.
