I do not want to "offend them" by raising the rent however I do realize inflationary forces are at work on my money and obviously I want to maximize my monthly profits.

@LaTrell Ray - Several high profile, multi year, VC backed rental arbitrage companies recently went bankrupt because they couldn’t weather the storm of covid and/or other industry forces including increased local taxes and regulation (licensing, crack downs on zoning violations for stays less than 30 days).

Many people (non RE investors) told me that I should force the seller to pay for and fix these repairs, but they were total < $50 and took me about 4 hours.

My fiance's dad recently (and thankfully) "forced" me into the real estate investing world by offering to fund a flip 100%!

She could either immediately leave or I would have the police and drug task force down here to bust her AND I would immediately evict her.

Assuming we're out of this foreclosure mess and they have the time, I'm guessing they'll look for any reason they can to call those older, low interest rate loans due just to force the higher rate refi.

If you put your home in the LLC you lose your homestead exemption and you could be forced to pay a %age of the rents as business license taxes.

That should be done on every non performing note, in my opinion, if you want to force a result.

Personally, I've bridged, cross-collateralized, substituted security, forced appreciation, and more in order to facilitate timely exit of private capital.
