I work in the retail space, and a common commission is 6% of the lease value for the first five years, and 4% of the lease value for years 5 through 10.Lease value is the number of years times the annual rent.In retail, we don't often get paid commission on options or lease renewals.  

The tenant ended up renewing and I kept everything as is.

I had to take current classes and renew it every two years.  

It was set up as a 5 year balloon and the banker said we could simply renew it after the 5 years was up provided all the payments were made on time.  

I think I used Kaplan though for my last renewal and it was smooth.

I am going to send out the renewal contract soon to the tenants!

I am a benefactor of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, a group of priests and brothers who serve the poor and underprivileged.  

Plus, I'm not renewing her lease, she has several complaints against her in the condominium.As far as the HO6 insurance, it turns out it would cost me $3500 for my 4 condos in Florida.

Just got a response of an increase to 1350 for 4 bdrm cold flat in New Britain, administered I think by NBHA, for this year's renewal - that's on an apt where sec 8 pays the entire rent, so it has nothing to do with the tenant's income.

You will also want to establish lists of recent CAPEx renewals/improvements and those to be expected in the near to mid-term so you can factor them into your analysis.In addition, look at zoning, local redevelopment plans, and recent sales of similar properties to understand what is happening in that neighbourhood.
