I have a lot of rental units just outside the boundaries of the NIZ, but that doesn’t mean they translate into attracting the same type of tenants JB gets downtown.

How often do you repaint after tenants move out?

Great question.....for new investors, it's often the only option and was for me too. 

People often use LLC for liability protection, and after closing the property in their names, transfer it to an LLC, which is a little sneaky.

This {often} means it is easier to {or your sole option is} have them ejected from the property.  

It is not as easy to access as cash flow but it does increase net worth and can be accessed via refinance, etc.  6) Local presents an opportunity for forced appreciation where you can do some of the work (versus out of state (OOS) forced appreciation often is more limited due to requiring the use of contractors because OOS).2 of 5 years occupancy is required to not owe taxes on the gain from selling the property. 

The fee is often 10% of the gross rent due for the balance of the term.

This is not to say that some smaller companies won't have these things in place but more often than not the larger company will have dedicated staff members that can assist with business planning, accountability, coaching, social media and more than likely a broker in charge who does not sell but is there to manage the agents and the office.Keller Williams has some great programs worth looking into.

I was wondering how often do you increase rent, and what % do you usually increase it by.

I'd be able to fly out and look at properties, but not all that often.
