I explained at that time that i understood if they needed to go that route, but I explained that I couldn't maintain the rent that far below market.Fast forward to now and as more time goes on, they are growing on me as neighbors and so not only would i not want the wrath of the neighborhood if they are forced to move, i also would like to keep tenants that i know are great neighbors while i reside there.So all that being said, if you were in my shoes would you take an income hit and not increase the rent or only increase it by $75 or so in favor of maintaining a quality life with good neighbors?

The flip 5 , buy 1 strategy has allowed me to take my profits off the table while intentional growing my passive income stream and reducing my portfolio risk.

The more I learn about the intangibles of my Top 2 Markets (Meridian, ID and Charlotte, NC) I begin to lean towards CLT or another NC growing city.

Or is it ok to leave it there and let it keep growing?

In our market we have one city that gives the voucher holder her/his own bedroom and separates the sexes for anyone over the age of 10 into two people per bedroom.  

For now reading and continuing to go through the growing pains is what will be needed. 

Relationships, to me, are the most important aspect in real estate and building strong relationships can exponentially grow your real estate business. 

What is the effective age of the building you are buying IE. when was the last full renovation?

I signed a contract at the beginning with a GC that was more general than I wanted considering the large price tag, but he kept saying that he couldn't make it more specific until they busted up the concrete to see what was really going on (lots of unknowns due to age and character of building).

I am trying to find some good books to read soon to help me grow and increase my knowledge in real estate.
