Or do you mean raising money myself?

@Kelly I.Also, instead of implementing RUBS, couldn't I just raise rent upon purchase and it would essentially be the same thing?

My partner and I are exploring the concept of stealing the idea of raising capital for syndications and such and using it for our smaller scale residential investments, gaining some experience in how that works, what it looks like to raise capital, and just adding to our experience and track record.Now, while offsetting DTI is great, there comes a point in which it just makes sense to use other people's money and capabilities they have in methods such as equity money partnerships.

Raising rent to cover is certainty an option if you have that flexibility and might be best if you do so you can get the crew out you want to handle this issue.  

If you’re going to be FUNDING deals consider books on raising capital and leveraging other peoples money.

In any case, I doubt they’ll raise your rates on a petty claim.

Matt Faircloth gave me tips on raising capital and my business website that was priceless.

Hello again, BP Member.Just wanted to come and get your thoughts on three properties that I own and was thinking of doing a cash out refinance:Two are investment properties that have had their value skyrocket and one is my primary that I will eventually move from and rent.I am roughly $200 under current market rents on my two investment properties (Same lease for three years).Property 1) Purchased at $110,000, owe $40,000, rough value $175,000.Thinking of doing a cash out refinance and will still cashflow around $250-275 on the door after raising rents.Property 2) Purchased at $120,000, owe $90,000, everything else is identical to first unit.Primary ) Purchased at $167,500, owe $128,000, rough value $210,000.When I move and rent the unit would cashflow around $200-250.Should I pull cash out of all three to buy more? 

You can raise the rent (for now) in the future, the key to me would be getting a good tenant so you can complete the replacement purchase.

She pays me 10% management, but I've raised the rents so much that she's actually making more after paying my fees.
