Hi Group - I am new to real estate investing but purchased my first unit last year. Its a single family home currently being rented out. I live in Austin TX and the real estate here is pretty expensive.  For example, ...

The weather here in Phoenix is usually very consistent and enjoyable, which makes me think that this may be a great market for it.For those that may not know, the fenestration business is simply know as the window/door market.

Our lives are simply not long enough to let timelines of cycles, of which we can not predict, to be the driving force in our investment decisions.

I always simply submitted my best and if someone paid more, or offered better terms, I moved on.Give them your absolute top dollar offer with the best terms you are comfortable with.

As for a reason when ask I would simply state that I am choosing not to rent it at this time.

If you really cannot choose then I really like his suggestion of the first broker that responds from one of your numerous cities "wins".Enter @James Wise He is from Cleveland give him a shout and pick his brain a bit.

This is important as I know many landlords who haven’t raised rent in 5+ years simply because they feel bad about doing it to their nice tenant.

However, it is important to recognize the risks and making a good decision, so you can move forward with confidence in your future investing.Hope this helps - this is not legal advice, simply just my personal opinion and approach to the topic.

If I have a similar amount of rental income in 2019, will a lender simply see that similar amount and then count that as a two year track record of income, or will they notice the different properties and want to see a two year track record with the same property?

But, I can tell you that I consistently have clients and potential clients come to me with unfortunate situations involving lease agreements (sometimes found on the Internet) that are simply not California compliant or unenforceable.
