That may not be increasing but I don't think it's going backwards either.https://m.orlandoweekly.com/Blogs/archives/2018/08...Do you all get the same positive stability vibes from this "all is terrible in housing" article?

I would increase your CapEx and Repair reserves to 10%/5% respectively.  

And you're going to very clearly imply that they should be grateful about it, because after all, increasing these people's "financial literacy" and their "economic stability" is a good thing.This is going to happen in Georgia, a state where your great-grandfather would have had the legal right to buy their great-grandmother and do whatever he wanted to her, your grandfather might very probably have been able to get away with murdering their grandfather with a knife or a rope as long as he had some good friends with him and a sheet over his head, and your father would have had a chance to live in a neighborhood which allowed him to borrow money to buy a house while their father lived in a neighborhood where a mortgage could be refused due to an arbitrary red line on a map.I do not believe this is going to go over well.

I read online that a rent increase of 10% or more requires a 60-day written notice.

The properties I feel that have some value-add are the ones that a bank wouldn't lend on, such as a property where leases are coming up and I have opportunity to increase, etc.

....There are many factors that play into this obviously such as pay increases at my job, getting married etc. 

Long sessions of paying bills.  

This is especially important if your decision to be hands-on (ie self-manage, handle maintenance repairs yourself) is motivated by the desire to increase returns by cutting out the middle-men.

@Jon Paszkiewicz, I might be confused: Why does buying the two SFR's increase your starting cash pile?

The prices have increased over the years and it has become very competitive but there are still deals to be found.
