@James Hamling Respectfully, that's a semantic argument, not a market one.

In Ontario, Canada.I'll be honest I didn't give a physical binder, I simply outlined the facts and asked what they felt a fair increase would be.I want to buy in a more landlord friendly province or state (I'm extremely interested in buying my first property in the USA - and I'm tempted to move to the states) or possibly get into some commercial real estate.In all honesty the first step for me is to make some friends, build the network and find some deals! 

Many tell tales that would make a fisherman look honest.

When we look at a deal, we know that new investors don't know what they don't know and, despite honesty and good intentions, often get themselves in trouble by missing things.

If you demand honesty, you have to be willing to deliver it.

For rent increases, it’s usually best to be transparent but professional: you can mention that once the rehab is done, you’ll be adjusting rents slightly to align with market rates, giving them proper notice per state law, but there’s no need to overcomplicate it—tenants usually appreciate honesty and clear timelines.

@Eudith Vacio thank you for the advice and honesty I think that is my best bet. 

@Doug Smith I appreciate the honesty and openness for sure 

Antonio and Brian, i haven't thought about DSCR. to be honest i haven't heard much about it. just that term thrown around every now and then.

Has no more than 2 or 3 posts, and each is a “testament” to the quality, success, honesty, etc. of the subject guru or his program.
