My initial thought was to start updating all new leases upon renewal, while this may be what I end up doing, all of my renewal dates are scattered far apart so I was hoping to get some advice on if there were any faster options to avoid waiting too long and causing reputation damage or lawyer issues in the long run where while I failed to do enough research I did not personally set these leases the way they are. 

I realize this thread is a little dated...All excellent comments and suggestions!

Plus there is no shipping date even given for things like that right now.If they are unhappy, let them break the lease and move on.I'd also tell them that they can treat your repair people with respect.

Hi, I'm looking in Providence for my 1st multi-unit deal (I have only done SFRs to date).  

To get the most accurate and up-to-date information your best bet is to get in touch with a realtor in the market you're looking to get set up with direct access to the MLS. 

Hi all,I’ve been an avid Bigger Pockets listener and forum lurker for some time now and I think I’m finally ready to take the leap into my first rental property.We plan to build a home on my in-laws farm shortly - realistic move in date wouldn’t be for atleast 1.5 years as we’re still preparing the lot.

If the tenant stays past the term of their lease they would be what’s known as a “Holdover Tenant”.You can research online about how to handle a holdover tenant.You may end up having to evict them and also file a separate suit for damages/cost of not being able to move into your new home - like staying in a hotel or having to put your belongings in storage.Another option could be “Cash for Keys” where you or the current owner agree to give $1,000 (or some other amount) for the tenant to sign a legal agreement stating they will move out by X date.

It will likely appraise at $900K now as the 4-plex immediately across the street just sold for $1M and was dated inside though larger but still 2 bedroom units.

We did get a few rental reports from houses we were interested in and we can't see the whole story on these reports (personal use, blackout dates, ect...) but they don't seem to make enough after BBL taxes and cleaning fees to cover what would be our monthly costs.Does anyone have any helpful information on this type of scenario?
