Just based on what you said I would sell now and cash the equity out at the peak of the market.Then take the cash and invest elsewhere where you can stretch that currency to get the most bang for the buck.This would be better than treading water.You might have NOI now but if the market collapses and other owners are having a hard time meeting debt service rents will fall fast and there goes most of your NOI.Some people say people get LUCKY when they sell.For astute investors it is not about being lucky but analyzing the market for cycles.EVERYTHING CYCLES.The only question is how long each cycle will last before changing.For that you look at a bunch of metrics to make the best educated guess.

The landlord can put that in the lease but it doesn't mean it will hold up in court.A judge will likely throw that part of the provision out and make the landlord go through the normal eviction process.We have a clause where the rent is late on the 5th and then an eviction fee of 150 is added on plus 10 dollars a day for each day they are late.The judge gives us the 150 and back rent as a judgement but sees the 10 dollars a day as excessive in most cases and will not give to us.We have it in there to make the tenant feel the heat and want to pay the rent instead of letting 10 dollars a day accrue.I am sure it is the same way with this other landlord.Most of their tenants are probably not fully educated on eviction law.So they assume they must leave by the 15th because they signed the paper.
