A tenant now enjoys these enhancements at $1400/month, showcasing the property’s increased value.

The allowable rent increase is not typically the big issue with rent control, the bigger issue is getting rid of poor tenants that pay their rent.

When I run the numbers based on these rents, the property operates at a negative cash flow.If I increase the studio's rent to $1,400 per month, the property becomes cash-flow positive.

If you think about it in any industry less transparency and more friction in the transaction will increase fees/commission vs reducing them.I like the idea as an investor of having different agents, a team of agents maybe 3-4 bringing me deals, but I think less of that will happen now as all will have to have you sign some kind of agreement up front. 

Can you PROVE that the landscaping increases rents of ability to rent? 

If you can or do trust your PM company then speed can increase and costs decrease over time. 

There is only a $3 difference increase to move to RentRedi, but the customer service is amazing.

Typically its done for open space or use for community property (ie. fire station location or other county use) and typicaly would assist in increasing tax base.  

.- If interest rates remain high, this is further upward pressure on rents in the near-term, as the alternative to renting - buying a home with a mortgage, is expensive - this should increase demand for rentals. - Rents are also a function of supply - 2024 saw the most new construction of multifamily units in American history (nearly 575,000 estimated 2024 deliveries of new multifamily inventory), and 2025, while not a record setting year, will see deliveries top 500,000 again - a huge supply increase. 

(example - STR on the back end to increase cash flow)To me, forced apperception (BRRRR or buying at a discount) is a hedge against market corrections.
