I am in the process of sourcing another tenant however the rent needs to be increased.

They way to find a deal is to either source it yourself through your own marketing efforts or by networking with local wholesalers.

These conditions are critical to protect you from having your property cited under the nuisance ordinance or worst.

There's a lot available on this topic; here's one source:  https://www.land.com/owning/ho...In your case, you should be able to simply contact the electric provider directly.

It's interesting, this guy has been indirectly helping source deals for clients with this turn-key company for years.

If you want to prove you materially participate in your rental business, notes are a good source of evidence to support.

You MUST continue to create new sources and paths. 

US News and World Report is not a good source in my experience. 

It is non-linear, meaning that small homes have a much larger $/sf factor than larger.Yes, you should see a higher price for more acreage and a garage, but there are so many other factors to consider:Style, Age, Specs - location, condition, beds, baths, basement type, foundation type, sq ft, acres, local conditions like noise sources, flood zones, school zones, proximity to airports, gun ranges - that list goes on and on.

@Gunes KoYour best bet is to discuss your situation with a couple lenders(conventional lenders and non-conventional lenders).You likely won't be able to get a conventional loan without another source of income.
