Otherwise , as long as the rent is fair market value, most landlords increase by 5 percent a year - not decrease . 

I was wondering if there were some tips to decrease OE to increase noi.

The good thing about these criteria is that they are mostly static as opposed to often changing.Population: Look for population to be steadily growing = increasing customers.Jobs: A stable job market = a stable tenant base.Supply: Too much product = increase in concessions / decrease in rental income to attract solid, long term tenants.Demand: Product type.

And with every day that passes, the risk of that occurring within the applicable limitations period decreases.

@William Huston, One of the best strategy relating to proper use of Mortgage is to offset your mature properties income with newer properties interest deduction. 1) Mature properties will start to show more taxable income as interest payment decreases with time. 2) So, use newer properties to offset those income. 

If this is the case, we would need either some of the big repairs met, or a pretty drastic decrease in agreed price.

However, what I’m gathering is that what makes it beneficial is that your expenses decrease by having less wear and tear?  

We refinanced our house several years ago to decrease the length of our loan to 15 years which increased our monthly payment a little but has allowed us to make faster gains toward the pay off. 

I highly suggest making sure your lease options contracts are separate and are done correctly in order to decrease liability and maximize your returns.We market our properties by putting signs in the property or by hanging door hangers in the neighborhood.  

@Bei He The only downside to that is you will be bringing down market value to the surrounding houses, if everyone does it, it will decrease all the segment or area down.
