@Brady Ascheman To make the decision strictly from a Property Management standpoint you have to calculate your vacancy cost and cost to acquire a new tenant to know if a rental increase is even a smart play. 

I'm sure the BP community would love to be continually updated as well on your progress.

I continue to get stuck at this step Thank you for asking the question!

I would only consider Decatur for a cash flow play, not an appreciation play.  

I'm finding that this strategy is helping people, building repour with people, and continuing to keep business moving forward while some say it's hard and sit on the sideline to wait until there is mass movement.Appreciate your time and reply and good to hear that you're experiencing some similar action a couple hours' drive away. 

If you have a good relationship then they would be willing to answer questions but if you are just going to ask a bunch of questions they won't continue to answer.

Yup this is right out of the Sub Too guys play book. 

You also have to be super detail-oriented, focused on continuous improvement regarding the property and guest experience, very in-touch with what it's like to be a guest at the property (and a cleaner of it as well), and focused on technological tools and opportunities. 

I'll continue to make it clear that I won't bend on rent collection while being nice & sympathetic.

I will continue to expand, and I will continue this path that so far has been successful.
