The other issue, especially in instances like this, is there's a rental cap/% of building rent at one time so when we loose a tenant we get put on a waiting list to be able to rent again which is on average 3 months of vacancy in-between each lease so it's not loosing a couple weeks of rent.We'll move forward trying to help her get a sublease and make sure we put a termination clause in our next lease.  

Sometimes big corporations have a tendency to keep certain projects on life support and not really moving forward.They don't want to scrap it but haven't been presented with a plan or motivation to improve and move it forward.

List Price $170,0001 Br/ 1 BA - Current Rent $450/ Mo1 Br/ 1 BA - Current Rent $450/ Mo3 Br/ 2BA - Current Rent $550/ MoHomes are in Fair to good condition on the exterior, interior showings not available until under contract during due diligence period.The Plan (currently)Try to negotiate to a better but calculate rents based on full price offer. 

They seem to have a good set of comprehensive services and fairly priced fees.

I'm very excited to move forward but is there anything that I should keep in mind?

I put 25% down on my first property so I assume I have at least 25% equity (especially since I bought at a great price).

We lived in it for a year, remodeled both units and put in place a long-term tenant on one unit and a mid-term tenant on the other.Here's a little more details about this deal:*   Purchase price: $163k*   Financed price: $132k @ 7.625% APR*   After repair (estimated value): $225k*   Gross rents: $2150 ($750 one year lease & $1400 six month lease)*  Annual taxes and insurance: $7000*  Approx credit score: 650 (I used interest free credit card to pay for remodeling this property and maxing it out caused my score drop almost 50 pts!) 

I'm looking forward to connecting with fellow investors, learning from your experiences, and finding new opportunities in the Kansas rental market.Looking forward to engaging with you all and growing together!

Way to pay it forward from a guy who taken some tough knocks and knows the game.....I've been doing this too, and I would advise you to choose your mentorees carefully...some people will not do the work and expect you to give them everything.

Hello Misael, I would do a thorough market research to verify that you can get the rent increase you want, you might find out that the market is oversaturated with rentals.If you are trying to raise the rent $100/mo, 1 month of vacancy ruins your rent increase for the whole year.I would list the property for lease 45 days before your tenant's lease expires, if you have your property priced right you should get some applicants before your lady moves out.
