What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.
riffraff,
The way things are going with rentals at the moment, i would rather hold on to a tenant then try and increase the rental with the risk of them moving. What are renovated units renting for in the street? (how many are vacant???) In my experience renters in units are less inclined to hesitate when moving out, caus there may well be a unit thats exactly the same in the same complex, or down the street for a lower price…
I wouldnt remove a tenant to do a renovation either, Any major work i want to do that is voluntary (such as a major renovation) is best done between tenants in my opinion!
Perhaps the renovation money can be repayed into the loan for the time being, reducing repayments abit, wait till the person moves out then renovate. in the mean time a rental increase of 5 or 10 dollars might not hurt if the owner believes its fair.
How does the tenant feel with the property? are they constantly winging about trivial things? are they constantly late with rent? are they unsure about their future in the conversations u have when doing an inspection or changing a leaky tap?
Just my opinion, all the best!
Jason
