Hi Everyone,Just wanted to introduce myself, I have been listening to a lot of BP podcasts in the last year or so and finally got around to joining the forum.About myself,We moved to Atlanta fresh out of college for my first 9-5 job in 2015, and found a house to rent from someone local here who rented out the top half of the split level to me and my spouse, and the bottom to someone else.

Great guidelines to abide by - I have been a little more flexible but its yet to be seen how it pans out since I'm fresh in the market.

Since I am so fresh I would love some advice from experienced investors.

However, you can always incentives them to make your tenants why increasing their rent is justifiable, I usually would give them more access to a storage room or do a minor touchup paint for the unit just to bring in that new/fresh vibe.

New AC, bedroom refinish, fresh paint in and out, new electrical box in and out, new electrical, and plumbing.What was the outcome?

Subway.. always fresh.

Garden city is cheap but seems a bit to sketchy, im wondering if that will flip with the new waterfront expansion but that seems like a wait.

We'd honestly just like him out, without having to pay for him to leave (either by eviction or by "no fault just cause" rules) and to start fresh with a tenant that WE screen and gives us a chance to rehab the unit.Are we SOL? 

If it's been freshly updated, that should be pretty obvious.

It's probably easiest for the buyer to start fresh.
