Offer to pay 50% and say that's the best you can do as it was their choice to get the shots.I provide fridges in most of my units and occasionally one goes out and the tenant's food spoil (shockingly all my tenants go and spending hundreds on meat the day before these things happen). 

I have I have to agree fully with Russell, when I first went out to get my license I expected it to be expensive but there was definitely have sense of sticker shock at how much everything cost.

The property has been inspected and I have received a preliminary feasibility report categorizing the mandatory, recommended, and desired repairs.

Account Closed  I never say it can't happen as I learn something new darn near every day in this business..however in all my years and I have a lot of them... and all the preliminary title reports or title commitments I have read..

on those sites, check average home price , average apartment rents , average vacancy rates , unemployment , household income and then I also like to Zillow or trulia the current properties for sale , for rent and that gives you a good preliminary on the market I think. 

There are several units for sale but none seem like good deals to my amateur eyes (or preliminary analysis I've attempted).

Although it is 3% across 6 years, its going to appear as a shock to the tenant. 20/20 hindsight, I don't like to increase things beyond slightly over inflation (3 to 4% per year).

Hey @Chris K. thanks for taking the time to give advice.After considering it a bit more and running thru preliminary numbers , I am most likely going to sit this one out. 

Or maybe, just hike it $100 starting in november, and have them sign a 6 mo lease- that way when I raise another 200 in 6 months its not such a shock.  

Ultimately the property must be able to cash flow and average of $200 a month once stabilized (and refinanced).I will use two methods to conduct my preliminary analysis.
