That's why the 1% Rule (or really the Monthly Rent / Property Purchase Price rule) comes to mind as a very convenient method to quickly compare multiple deals and decide which to pursue.

NY state law will tell you how far in advance you have to provide written notice of an increase in rent....usually 60 days in many states, some are 30 days....then the debate will be do you do it all in one big jump or small increments as not to shock the current tenants enough to leave...... that's a debate on here in many posts

Let me give thanks in advance to all who give suggestions and advice.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Thanks in advance!

Kijiji or Realtor for finding deals using a similar method as flippers do (x% ARV)Cornwall is tough because there isn't a lot of inventory and the product that appears affordable is in the east end (usually government assistance).

We are currently renting apartments for 9/1/19, almost 10 months in advance. 

That’s too expensive and generally they need 10 days to 2 weeks notice in advance for comprehensive title report.

I'd consult an attorney before changing the locks and if making a key to enter, follow proper procedure to advance notify them of your intent to enter.

I think that depending on your brokerage's location that can be something to try.Trying to convert FSBOs to listings is another tried and true method of getting clients/listings, it's not easy but you can have some success with enough effort.
