Just look at your competition and see what they are charging and how full their calendars are.

But my properties were/are higher end rentals, so maybe it’s the financial position of the tenant that’s a determining factor.in answer to the OP’s question, if a tenants lease expired and he wanted either a month to month or a 3 or 6 month lease, I would tend to do the following:in a very weak rental market I would be inclined to keep the rental rate the same.in a normal to strong market I’d charge 10-15% more monthly on a 6 month lease, 20-30% more on a 3 month lease, and 35% more for month to month.in a very strong market I would do a competitive rent survey and let that guide me. 

We were able to work out things with the stucco contractor, the big box store, and get the deck and roof finished with competition contractors.  

All I use it for is to inspect roofs and check the number of vehicles parked outside my competition. 

Being a private lender in a never ending competition to get clients between everyone else.

Absolutely..... but those offenses would have no influence to me.

I think I will buy one a year or two old to get a better deal.We don't scrimp every penny (my wife's a bad influence on me) because you have to enjoy life a little to.

I'd focus on looking who is your competition for both options renting and selling.

There is something called zone of influence but if your townhome was built properly and on 95% compacted soil this should not be an issueThis is also why you have insurance.

We were thinking we'd now be able to find more competitive pricing on insurance.
