@Sean Conroy, this really depends on two things: first, the land zoned in a way that you can subdivide and build more units (question for building/zoning department) and second, financial returns on doing this versus using the capital to buy.New construction certainly has its advantages on the operating side, and can often get a premium to remodeled, older units.  

There is no loss of use.

Hello Fellow Property Managers,I started my property management company earlier this year and currently manage several properties in Sonoma County, California.

I do give tenants discounts for yard work or snow shoveling, but I keep it less than what I would pay a company to do the work.As for raising the rent, use the binder method.

This advice is greatly appreciated

Hey everyone, First timer here to BP but already loving the networking and knowledge in this group. 

Just messaged him a link to this post, hopefully he can pop in and share.

Any advise about how to handle this situation?  

This is an excellent platform for networking and enhancing your knowledge.

I seriously am not just making a post to crap on Lawton, and my experience was over a decade ago, but I just picked up a client from Oklahoma today that said: "Yikes, sorry you got Fort Sill, Lawton is the armpit of this state."
