especially at the moment when you have a lot of vacancy (may increase further when you enforcing the rules short term). keep in mind vacant unit don't generate income and it's still a great return on investment (full year of rent vs what incentive you offer). that may keep him more motivated. also, I'd personally help with generating leads for new tenant and have manager mainly helping with onsite tasks (showing, move in, etc) for the short term. considering he's 70 years old as you mentioned, he probably are not as effective as using online tools for generating lead (FB marketplace, zillow rental manager, etc)Originally posted by @Cody Furman:Thank you, Bjorn.

I’d like to ask for advice on how I should go about leveraging my units. 3 paid off. 1 23% equity and the home value increased 150k, and 1 home with 50% equity, home valuw increased 50k.Please feel free to send a message if you’d like to connect in general.

I read that when transferring to the LLC, the Insurance subsequently has to be put in the name of the LLC and this is how the Lender finds out. 

As values increase, keep taking more HELOCs - which they can do until something in their lives hits the fan and the owner can't keep up with the payments.

You have no control over it and may increase quicker of a rate than your rent increases. 

Santa BarbaraUnder the proposal, evictions of 15 or more units would result in the landlord having to pay tenants four times the median advertised rental rate or $5,000, whichever is greater, and increase the notification requirements to 90-days in cases where more than 10 tenants are displaced.No monetary relocation assistant would be provided for eviction with 14 units or fewer.

So you may avoid the $100 a year increase in rent, but what about increase in taxes, insurance, or the general cost of living?

I second having wooden windows increases that likelihood of lead paint so that is another reason for vinyl windows.
