Increase in rent each year what is the standard amount 2% I am the new landlord and my tenets are going into the second year 

I use a scratch-N-dent place outside of Philadelphia, PA (private owner, small company) and after my last appliance purchase back in April 2018, he said the same thing.. all appliances went up about $25-100 depending on size (so a standard 30" frigidaire SS went from $1500 up to $1600 now), etc. 

Sure you’ll get deductions but you’re not getting a lot of money. 

Basically I just wondered if there is a standard formula — something similar to the MAO formula that rehabbers use.

I have filed years of 1040 tax returns deducting as much as I can.

"How you doing, your family member is selling me the roof over your head and you need to leave" doesn't seem like a good conversation starter.Lastly, is there an industry standard incentive that typically works to motivate "tenants" to move out sooner than later?

I see you self manage but still mention you deduct it from your expenses, seems like a smart way to go about it.

You'd still have the standard LLC protections but NOT from the lender as you are responsible for the payments. 

There is a new 20% pass through deduction you may qualify for that could help you, but not everyone qualifies.

I would make sure a Realtor gets a pretty exact number on the resale price to not overpay your brother and be sure to deduct the cost to sell the place.
