I believe the biggest factor in this dynamic is supply and demand and available land.

It's all subjective on a case by case basis.For instance one owner I know owns a multifamily complex of ranchers single story (over 100 units) on about 12 acres.Over the years retail commercial has built up all around it.The owner hasn't raised rents in 3 years.90% of the community is 55 and older even though it is not designated for that.The owner keeps it filled and does minor things to maintain it.Eventually it will probably be torn down and sold off for redevelopment.Knowing that it doesn't make sense to really over improve it and increase the rents.When buying a multifamily building you have to look at many factors and where it is located to determine what your plan will be.I like upping the rents slightly so that you get the increase but are still below market.As other shave said for someone to move and pay deposits and moving fees etc. they won't do it for a small amount.It's like a restaurant upping a burger 25 cents.You won't be happy about it but will deal with it.Up the burger at once by 1.00 and many might look for another place to eat.

If you have proof that your consultancy income will continue, then by all means talk to your bank.There are also other factors that come into play when applying for a loan, such as your credit history.

Make sure that for whatever period you're planning to hold these properties, you've factored in the cost of the financing...hard money isn't cheap and can have a substantial impact if your holding times are anything significant.

If your 1-year lease ends on this September 30th, serve them a 30 days notice tomorrow morning.

Is the unit in rentable condition at the moment.Based on the answers above - you should be able to factor in the mileage to and from the property; it will either be expensed or capitalized to the cost of the property.

Good Morning, I am doing research on ways to make money safely.

Here is why you do not need to adjust your price:If you are using comps from listed sales to determine your sales price, the price for the commission is already factored into the price.

As you pick up one stick you may move one of these factors......your turn can be over.To get to the last stick you need a strategy and you need to understand how one stick may move another and which way it may move.In other words, you really need to know a heck of a lot more than real estate to operate in notes, there are many moving parts or aspects to be aware of.

I am not a wholesaler nor do I invest in your market but If I did I would Look to the segment of the market that has at least some equity and search for distressed situation caused by divorce, death or some other factor that necessitates a sale.
