Some leases have built into them provisions whereby the landlord can increase rent in the event property taxes or other services to the property are increased. 

Unfortunately, the notified tenant refused to leave and I started the eviction process, which can easily take 3 months. the fire insurance provider will terminate the service within 1 month.

@Andrew Cannon, First, thank you for your service and welcome to BP.

Hey Susan, what Jared can be very helpful with is if you need any water heater installation services.

I am under contract with a buyers agent and used them to run comps as well as other services on the property.

How can I be of service to an Agent in return for comps on the regular?

My 2 cents is to just find a skip tracing service, and a source to get lists from(taxes owed, code violations, out of state owners etc) this is much more effective and less time consuming.

I have a diploma in Electrical Engineering Technician and I have gone to school for Paralegal.

In my market we allow for $3000-$3500 per unit per year.In your underwriting I would allow for 7% capex 7% for maintenance 7% vacancy, and 10% property management.Ballpark take off 50% off the NOI as expenses then take off debt service = cashflow.This is a back of an envelope calculation and not one to go by as finel.

I have never utilized his services personally but if I needed roofing done I'd certainly contact Dave Wandel with Charis Contractors.
