Would You Keep the Tenant or Start Fresh?
You buy a duplex and inherit a long-term tenant who’s paying 30% below market rent. They always pay on time and have been there for years, but updating to market rates would increase cash flow significantly.
What would you do?
-
Keep them for stability and lower turnover risk?
-
Raise the rent slowly over time?
-
Or start fresh and re-list at market rates?
