@Anthony Sellers

I do estimates, I charge hourly. But I would tell you 1500 sq ft full guy would be 100k+ easy

@Bruce Woodruff I’m buying the properties so it they haven’t taken advantage of me. But I agree it’s business.

@Aaron Lee avoid both. They suck and you’ll waste your money. Best to start marketing your services at meetups, networking events and ect. Go to a real estate agent office and tell them what you do. They’ll send you business if you do two things

#1 show up

#2 not do a horrible job

Lol

Hey guys I am gonna be getting 4 properties that are grossly under market rent and want to get you option on how you would raise rents.

Units are renting for 600-700-750 and 900

$900 in on a lease so I can’t do anything about that one but others are month to month.

The three properties are long term renters that pay on time. But rents should be 1000-1200 for each unit according to what it should be.

I’m thinking of letting them all know once we have the properties that they get 30days notice that rents will increase to $1000.

My concern is how would you do it without coming off like a jerk? They know they have been getting a good deal, I would like to keep them as renters but rents are way to low.

What’s your thoughts?

@Ed Yoo if you plan to buy this home make sure the seller calls and uses a restoration company like Servpro or something. Water if not dried out correctly can cause serious damage! I specialize in water damage and can tell you this stuff is no joke
