As several have posted:1) Avoid leases ending during slowest months2) Offer MoveIn incentives when necessary3) Proactively pursue lease renewals at least 60-days (we start at 90) before current lease ends4) MTM leases are fine, but have "Commitment Season" during slowest months. - If tenant doesn't give notice by mm/dd/yyyy, then the lease will auto-renew for x months, after which it goes back to MTM.

Assuming my tenants and I agree on a price (would work this out with them before making offers on potential replacement properties), right after the replacement property goes under contract I would start the wheels moving to sell the existing rental to my tenants and close hopefully within 30 days.

I've onboarded a property manager to handle the multi-families and SFHs.I've been using the existing cash flow to handle maintenance, repairs, and capital improvements but need to raise more capital to accelerate the remaining projects this year and get to cash-flow I can support myself on. 

The agent in question was super crappy and didnt want to release terms in writing and wanted a commitment .

I successfully completed all required coursework and passed my exams this past August 2025, and I’m now in the early stages of building my property management business.At this time, my focus is exclusively on third-party property management — helping owners manage their existing rental properties.

One tool I wish existed (and am actually building right now): contractor invoice auditing software.I manage a small portfolio and kept getting burned on maintenance costs - contractors charging $950 for $549 water heaters, padding labor hours, duplicate fees everywhere.

Sometimes it’s just committing to an action for undetermined period of time and breaking things down that gets people over the hump.

Nope, you can try to get a feel for general interest but it usually doesn't work to get commitments before the deal is under contract.

This is such an exciting season to be in and I just want to say I’m proud of you for showing up and staying committed.
