(As what happens frequently thanks to the rapid changes in technology) bottom line the industry was no longer fulfilling me and I had no desire to rekindle that flame.

Make your plan, map it out, understand the financial impact that some vacancy, turnover and unit refurb costs will have on your cashflow and decide the pace that's right for you.With a staged plan to raise rents slowly or force some turnover by not renewing existing leases, I'm sure you can get the rents up to market within six months to a year.Good luck!

I tell them I frequently have same-day check-ins (which is true) and that's the most I can give while still allowing my cleaners to do their job.  

Now as I am writing new leases, I am collecting pet rent. $25 per animal.

Let me ask... when is the tenants' lease up? 

Case in point: when I have difficult tenants, and their lease is up, I can send them packing.

The day he was supposed to be out he called our attorney and asked to go on a m2m lease.

I am in need of a Real Estate Attorney who can help with looking over a current lease I have and help me develop a better one.

But at those numbers, it doesn't make a good property for someone to buy to lease out.   

Even if they're under a current lease, those do come up for renewal.I'd find a way to call this tax out as a specific line item in your leases, just to stick a finger in the town's eye.
