I have 3 directions i could go and I'm looking for advice from my fellow BP investors. 1) My first thought is i should just find the highest paying job i can get to be able to raise the capital i need for my deals regardless of how unenjoyable and time consuming it is.  2) my second thought would be get a job with a construction/remodeling company.

Bottom line, try to raise the rents by $25 next year, less work and probably better ROI! 

Did anyone else test at that location that day?

I had my kids screaming in other units while I was listening adjacent as a noise test

I was also tested for AIDS-passed that too.

@Tushar P. nice point that you raise but why couldn't someone take the gains from their syndication and either roll it into another syndication or roll it into a 1031 exchange for their own commercial property or 2-4 unit portfolio.

Liability is always your  major legal consideration 5. it's all challenging at first6. mistakes to avoid: making exceptions to your criteria, not running full credit/background check EVERY time, renting to friends or family, not raising the rent a small amount every year, not doing my homework on current market rents, etc, etc, etc....good luck!

How much do you guys raise your rents annually?

Get a solid track record of generating leads YOURSELF till you know through and through how, and why it worksThen test, scale tweak improve it.Now you know your system is solid, you turn it into a system by writing EVERY step of the procedure on paper and test it againNow you can hire an employee and have them do that task, Teach them, make them understand the hows and whys and supervise them, alwaysThis is what you need to do.

A couple years ago he raised the rents due to his insurance co. raising his rates because it was an old wooden structure and a fire hazard.
