The previous owner had not raised rent for 4 years so I will inch that up as their leases expire. 

(Good parking situation is helpful when you house hack so as not to raise the ire of the neighbors.)How'd we source the deal?

It's unfortunate that this situation happened during your raise process.

I have tenants who are due soon who I'm strongly considering either not raising rents on or offering short term renewal options (2 things I'd ordinarily not do), just to keep them happy and make sure I don't have to show a vacancy before the fall.My suggestion would be something similar.

Plus with how things are right now, I doubt you'd want 3 vacant units in Dec and you're likely to get that if you raise rents $200-300 AND add in utilities. 

I would rather keep raising the rent gradually ($20-30 per year) instead of locking it and losing that bit of rental income. 

Some adjustments include: Raising minimum credit score requirementsLowering LTC & increasing rates Delay in closing (some courthouses are closed around the country) Difficulties in scheduling appraisals MOST- loan closings will require Gap Coverage for the Lenders (where applicable and appropriate).

I got the question from Jerry Norton's youtube videos on wholesaling, I assumed he was correct because he has done deals in all states using this method with real estate agents, so not to raise a red flag by putting "and/or assign" .

I have the best team Five Pillars Realty with eXp.I was born and raised in Wilmington NC, I live in Fayetteville NC now.

I would see what do you like and very good at running the numbers finding off market deals, raising funds, construction or so forth.
