Or if you have access to an attic space above the room, it is usually pretty straight forward to drill a hole in the wall top plate from the attic side and use a "fish tape" to pull a wire out of the switch box.

I'm also thinking of going straight to multi-family investing (currently studying and networking).  

Having said that the reason why I have not been here is; I was really busy applying concepts and knowledge that I learned from using this site.Short story long; our business has grown over the past two years and I'll get straight to the point. 

Rather straight forward, Give proper notice you will be increasing rent, do it for all the units.Keep them all on month to month.Don't worry if they have big mouths, the next tenants could have big mouths also, but you could mention that you would appreciate  it and that you would want them to be polite to any new people on the property, you are aware of what they mentioned during the tour you took, and if they have plans on moving you'd be happy to work with them as your impression is they aren't as satisfied as they could be living there.Wait till late spring, early summer if you plan on doing a non-renewal notice.. that gives them time for proper notice if they are going to decide to move and some time to adjust to you as new owner.

In the brief time I've known him, he's shot straight with me and been very knowledgable in our interactions so if I were in your shoes I wouldn't hesitate to give him a call and see if he might fit your needs.

As a straight investor, I stay away from lots although I still have one on the books (performing).
