The first estimate we received for the septic from a NOVA company was 22k, a smaller local WV company will do it for almost half.Plans to Increase the NOI   -  Adding insulation to the attic should greatly reduce our $11k per year utility bills   - As leases expire, new leases will have a 30$ per month utility fee implemented w/RUBS   - Coin operated w/d   - Actually enforcing late fees   - Hiring a different property manager at 7% per mo3. 

If they come and  see the door egress clearance width is not the 32" after we renovated (I think its 28"), would this prevent me from renting out my home?

@Jade Bloomfield @Lauren Olson I think it is obviously important to consider  your local market when looking for the right market to implement your strategy.

Here are some ways that you might want to think about that risk1) What does supply/demand look like in your area and how long do you think it would take to get a market rate tenant2) Set expectations with the existing tenants that you would prefer them to stay and therefore you will be implementing a small increase but that they will still be below market and will therefore save $x per year over a comparable rental3) highlight any additional value that you will bring in return for the higher rent e.g. more responsive management, rehabs, additional amenities etc.4) Assess whether the tenant is one that you are interested in keeping e.g. do they pay their rent on time and do they look after the unitGood luck!

You could just proactively shutoff the water to prevent and flooding situations form a broken pipe.It has a app so you can monitor and control the water valve and any detected leaks.I know how you all like apps!

That’s fine, don’t let a $2k tax hit stop you from preventing a $12k in 401k tax/penalty, plus use the leftovers to pay off credit card debt.

My question is how or what is the easiest way to implement this strategy.

If it is too high we could have figured that out long ago preventing appraisal cost, and 4 months of my time being wasted. 

Unfortunately, the car biz prevents me from having saturdays off.

I just finished the book and working on implementing it into my system!
