as long as you go with a well known or local lender that is verified real you should have no problem.. try to find local company that knows your market well.be very cautious of the too good to be true send me 500.00 or 1000.00 commitment fee brokers.. some are real many are just what we call in the industry "advance fee scammers"  If your a fan of American Greed watch the episode on REmington financial on U tube and google Ingrid Robinson this will give a look at what I am talking about advance fee scammers.. you make a post like this and you might even hear from a few.

Let your tenants know that rents in the area for similar properties are higher than what you are charging, and based on the expenses you incur to keep the property in great shape, you need to increase the rent to market levels.Of course, also throw in how great they are as tenants, how much you appreciate them, and any concessions you're willing to make in order to retain them (for example, if they've been there for a year, offer to paint a room for them or put a nice fan in the master bedroom; if they've been there for several years, perhaps offer to replace the carpeting in a couple rooms; etc).Remember, it's MUCH cheaper to keep existing tenants -- even if you're getting a bit below market rents or have to provide incentives -- than it is to replace tenants.
