A few years ago I started drawing up leases for my mom and I was in charge of renewing leases and for the first time she has asked me to increase a tenants rent.What is the proper procedure on increasing a tenants rent in New York City? 

There were some minor cosmetic things that needed to be taken care of in the empty unit and a couple of the windows outside needed to be properly capped but we could tell that all of the major things were fairly new.

If you have a property or two, Nevada and Arizona both have good protections for LLCs **when done properly**.

Your ability to get the proper financing might factor in as what you end up doing. 

I’m looking forward to a long and productive relationship with Tammy Richards and Sherman Bridge Lending.

If you want to keep them put them on a month to month lease and if they do not move out by the fall I would give them the proper notice that you are not renewing to get them out.

Heck, if the area is as good as you say and the deals are awesome you can get you can hit up a local REIA, move product, and use those profits to start scaling.Now, this is admittedly a VAST oversimplification.

It may be accurate to say that I don't yet understand how to properly utilize the equity I've built in my properties, but I plan to learn.

If you can't find it on the MLS it might because the agent may have not properly written the subdivision info on it and/or it might have been on a different MLS.

It was not properly permitted by the city.
