The following year when rents had been increased significantly she was less interested, but still called for several years after that.

It's funny that people like you play the victim until you dont get your way then the true colors come through.

I'd definitely increase the vacancy to at least 8% as that would get you close to one month's rent set aside each year (1/12 = 8.333333%).

We are going to inform them of the renovation along with the rent price increasing before they sign the six month lease.

Increase the character count for the PROPERTY SALES DESCRIPTION field. 

Even if the roof repair is covered by insurance, is it best to avoid it for smaller things to avoid increased insurance premiums?

I would like to increase it if possible.

I have seen an investor pay 8k in closing costs to pull out 20k equity, so he only netted 12k and a $700 a month increase in payment.

I have seen the number increase dramatically before in other situations.

I would like some assistance from a professional, or someone who knows what they are doing to help guide me in making sure the unit flows nicely for a vacation unit.Would need help picking paint color, furniture, linens, etc...Please call or email to discuss further.
