It was also a real good session on Wednesday.

Organic loss to lease would be any losses in potential rent due to the natural lease up cycle, meaning if rents are growing in the market, then leases dating back 11 months ago would be renting at a lower rate than market but this doesn’t necessarily mean the property has under market rents and a strong opportunity to increase rents.

Since then, I added an additional bathroom, increased its value, was able to do a cash out refi and pulled out my down payment.

My question is do we do this in one big increase? 

Leases are usually flat (no increases) and for a period of 5 years, with two 5-year options to renew at a predetermined amount. 

The main factor for me, if I try to correct the tax records, it might end up getting into higher tax bracket  and it may not be attractive investment anymore, but the big question I have is, will the city/county put it into higher tax bracket if we increase number of rooms and dont have to increase sq ft size at the tax records?

Or, just increase your rents ~$200/year.

If I don't pay cash, I pay off as quickly as I can to increase cash flow.
